About Sree Valayanad Devi Temple

Sree Valayanad Devi Temple stands at Valayanad on the Mankavu–Govindapuram route in Kozhikode. The temple's own official website describes Valayanad Bhagavathi as the family goddess of the Zamorin rulers and preserves the traditional story connecting the shrine with the Zamorin's devotion to the goddess. Kerala Tourism festival material also identifies the temple as notable for Saktheya worship and its ritual traditions.

The annual festival begins on the Karthika day of the Malayalam month of Makaram and extends for several days, with processions, Palivetta, Arattu and cultural programmes forming part of the celebrations. The temple remains an active devotional centre rather than a monument preserved only for tourism, so visitors experience a living tradition of worship, music and festival practice. The official temple address places it at Valayanad, Govindapuram, Mankavu, Kozhikode 673007, correcting the different PIN sometimes shown in secondary listings.

Visitors should follow temple rules on clothing, entry and photography and avoid interrupting rituals or worshippers.
