KALARATRI MAHADEVI DEVOTIONAL SONG (BY VINOD N. CHENGAT) Udinoor Kshetapalakan Temple.

Описание: Kshethrapalakan Eeshwaran is the main deity of Madiyan Kovilakam and Udinur Kovilakam is the head of Alladadesham which stretches from Chittari to Olavara. Legend has it that he decides to 'sit' when he found his niche once he reached Madiyan on the midway of his journey from Udinur along with Vairajathan; after he was attracted by the smell of the Appam (which is still an offering in the temple renowned as 'Kooloth Appam') that was being prepared for Nadayil Bhagavathi who was the main deity of Koolom at the time. Seeing this "Sastha" and other disciples who were accompanying him called Thampuran as "Madiya" which means lazy in Malayalam which later came to be known as "Madiyan" Kshethra palakan.

Thampuran or Kshethrapalakan later sat on the lap of Kaalarathriamma, a goddess who was in her 'furious form' and enjoyed a Mother's love and affection eventually positioning himself facing towards the west of the temple. There is another popular belief that the word "Madiyan" was originated since he sat on the lap (Madi in Malayalam) of Kalarathriyamma. It was also an end to the "Shaktheya puja" which was performed there before. In the memory of Shakteya pooja, kallu (palm toddy) and fish are still brought inside the temple on the day of Kalasham.
