Karthyani temple, in Cherthala is a famous temple right in the center of the town near the KSRTC bus stand.
A powerful Goddess Vishnu Maya is worshipped here.
The sprawling grounds with salubrious environment has a soothing and refreshing effect on the mind. We do not see any idol as such in the temple but a small eruption on the floor like a swaymabhu decked with flowers. It is believed that, worshiping Goddess here will remove all obstacles one faces in life. She provides solace and comfort to all those who seek refuge in her.
Offering Kozhi ( fowl) in the temple in return for the favours received is very famous here,the temple is also known as kozhi ambalam.
Now as the number of fowls in the temple have gone up they have been caged in a separate enclosure so that they do not pose any threat to the devotees.
This temple has sub shrines for Sasthavu, Nagas,Vishnu ,Shiva and Ganesha.
Pictures speaks more than the words..Please go through my album and enjoy.
