Padamadakki Bagavati [ Added by Nandakumar Koroth ]

Padamadakki Bagavati Theyyam was performed at Kunhimangalam on March 12, 2008.The myth of the Theyyam tells about the war between rulers of Kerala and a neighbouring ruler.The origin of Padamadakki Thamburatti is related to the battle between the resident, ruling Nileshwar Raja and a invading force from the Karnataka region. The strength of the Karnataka forces frightened the Nileshwar Raja's Nair soldiers under the command of the Kalari experts, the Koroth Nairs. They prayed to the Koroth Naga Bhagavathy, Kuttichathans [Sasthappan] and Bhairavan. The Gods acknowledged the appeals of the devotees and sent Padamadakki Bhagavathy. It is believed that upon seeing the Padamadakki Bhagavathy, the invading troops became unconscious and the Goddess thus averted a battle. Yearly, the Padamadakki Bhagavathy Theyyam is being performed in the Karoth temple in Kunhimangalam Panchayath in memory of the incident.
