About Temple

Irunilamkode is a small village situated in the middle of Mullurkara Panchayath sharply two kilometers from Mullurkara Railway station in Trichur District, Kerala State. There is an ancient temple, very close to the main road. It is under the protection of the archaeological department of Kerala government. This temple is famous for every aspects.The idol is carved on rock at the bottom edge of a small hillock; inside a cave. This hillock lays spread in an area of more than 100 acres with solid rock.

The structure of the deity is very peculiar and rare, perhaps, seen nowhere else. Lord Dhakshinamurthi, the master of all masters, sitting on a pedestal, one leg mounted on the other, head a little lifted up, body leaning towards back and with a charming look at his devotees. All the four hands are bearing the traditional symbols. A shining silver crown, on the head, augments the Lord’s beauty in appearance. The idols of ‘Vishnu’, ‘Sivalinga’, and Devi are also sculptured in the same shrine.

For, thousands of years, this temple was unkonwn and unseen to the public. About 300 years ago some villagers located it accidentally. One day, when it was raining a lady worker went inside the cave. There she started sharpening her sickle. Meanwhile she found a red liquid on her finger tip and feared, it was cut, she checked it. But she could find no mark of any injury.With anxiety and curiosity she observed the rock part where she sharpened her sickle. To her great surprise, she saw the same liquid slowly coming out drop by drop. Her anxiety grew up. She ran to the villagers and told them about the incidence with a choking voice and sobs. They immediately rushed to the spot with thrilling hearts. They found the rock site, watched keenly and carefully.They saw the same liquid coming out.They started removing the bushes grass and creepers slowly and carefully. They convinced the presence of some super human power there. They were stunned when they saw the complete shape of the deity. Some of them went into ecstasy. With folded hands they paid their respects and ‘Pranams’to the Lord.

This temple is renowned for religious harmony. Regardless of caste or creed persons could enter the temple and perform the worship themselves. They were free to touch the lord’s feet. Even before Kerala temple entry promulgation, perhaps, Irunilamkode temple stood first in the history of religious harmony. A number of devotees, not only from Kerala but from Tamilnadu and Karnataka also visited the temple. There is small Devi temple very close to the main temple. The Goddess here worshiped is called Kandankali. The vazhipads held here are also very popular among devotees. ‘POOMOODAL‘ (covering the deity with flowers) is one among them. It is to safeguard a person from all the problems of daily life. The main festival celebrated here is ‘SKANTHA SHASHTY‘. It falls in October or November every year. A number of ‘KAVADI‘s in sets come to the temple yard with singing, dancing and beating on drums with a competitive spirit. The participants are given a small amount as a token to their efforts.”THAIPOOYAM” is another festival observed here. “MAHASHIVARATHRI” is also celebrated here.

The Temple is kept open from 5 am to 12 noon and 5 pm to 7 pm. The offering (Vazhipads) conducted here are very strange and rare. More than 30 items of vazhipads are held here. PAPPADAM CHAVITTAL (Stamping on fried pappadams) is one among the popular vazhipad. This is done for the healing of diseases on the feet. CHOOL VAZHIPAD is another popular one (brooming over the head and neck). This is done for the abnormal falling of hairs found in ladies.

ഇരുനിലംകോട് ക്ഷേത്രം

കേരളത്തിലെ തൃശൂർ ജില്ലയിലെ മുള്ളൂർക്കര റെയിൽവേ സ്റ്റേഷനിൽ നിന്ന് രണ്ട് കിലോമീറ്റർ അകലെ മുള്ളൂർക്കര പഞ്ചായത്തിന്റെ മധ്യഭാഗത്തായി സ്ഥിതി ചെയ്യുന്ന ഒരു ചെറിയ ഗ്രാമമാണ് ഇരുനിലംകോട്. മെയിൻ റോഡിനോട് ചേർന്ന് ഒരു പുരാതന ക്ഷേത്രമുണ്ട്. കേരള സർക്കാരിന്റെ പുരാവസ്തു വകുപ്പിന്റെ സംരക്ഷണത്തിലാണ് ഈ ക്ഷേത്രം.
. കേരളത്തിലെ ക്ഷേത്രപ്രവേശന വിളംബരത്തിന് മുമ്പ് തന്നെ, മതസൗഹാർദത്തിന്റെ ചരിത്രത്തിൽ ഇരുനിലംകോട് ക്ഷേത്രം ഒന്നാമതെത്തി. കേരളത്തിൽ നിന്ന് മാത്രമല്ല, തമിഴ്‌നാട്, കർണാടക എന്നിവിടങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നും നിരവധി ഭക്തർ ക്ഷേത്രത്തിലെത്താറുണ്ട്. പ്രധാന ക്ഷേത്രത്തിന് വളരെ അടുത്തായി ചെറിയ ദേവീ ക്ഷേത്രമുണ്ട്. ഇവിടെ ആരാധിക്കുന്ന ദേവിയെ കണ്ടങ്കാളി എന്നാണ് വിളിക്കുന്നത്. ഇവിടെ നടക്കുന്ന വഴിപാടുകളും ഭക്തർക്കിടയിൽ വളരെ പ്രസിദ്ധമാണ്. 'പൂമൂടൽ' (ദേവനെ പൂക്കളാൽ മൂടുന്നത്) അതിലൊന്നാണ്.. ഇവിടെ ആഘോഷിക്കുന്ന പ്രധാന ഉത്സവം 'സ്കന്ത ഷഷ്ടി' ആണ്.. നിരവധി ‘കാവടി’കൾ മത്സരബുദ്ധിയോടെ പാട്ടും നൃത്തവും താളമേളങ്ങളുമായി ക്ഷേത്രമുറ്റത്തെത്തും. പങ്കെടുക്കുന്നവർക്ക് അവരുടെ പ്രയത്നത്തിന്റെ അടയാളമായി ഒരു ചെറിയ തുക നൽകുന്നു.” തൈപ്പൂയം” ഇവിടെ ആചരിക്കുന്ന മറ്റൊരു ഉത്സവമാണ്. "മഹാശിവരാത്രി"യും ഇവിടെ ആഘോഷിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു.
ക്ഷേത്രം രാവിലെ 5 മുതൽ 12 വരെയും വൈകിട്ട് 5 മുതൽ 7 വരെയും തുറന്നിരിക്കും. ഇവിടെ നടത്തുന്ന വഴിപാടുകൾ വളരെ വിചിത്രവും അപൂർവവുമാണ്. 30 ലധികം ഇനം വഴിപാടുകൾ ഇവിടെ നടക്കുന്നു. പപ്പടം ചവിട്ടൽ (വറുത്ത പപ്പടത്തിൽ മുദ്രയിടുന്നത്) ജനപ്രിയ വഴിപാടുകളിൽ ഒന്നാണ്. പാദങ്ങളിലെ രോഗശമനത്തിനായാണ് ഇത് ചെയ്യുന്നത്. ചൂൽ വഴിപാട് മറ്റൊരു പ്രശസ്തമായ ഒന്നാണ് (തലയിലും കഴുത്തിലും ചൂല്). സ്ത്രീകളിൽ കാണപ്പെടുന്ന അസാധാരണമായ രോമങ്ങൾ കൊഴിയുന്നതിനാണ് ഇത് ചെയ്യുന്നത്.

അന്നദാനം (സൗജന്യ ഭക്ഷണം) ആണ് ക്ഷേത്രത്തിലെ പ്രധാന പ്രവർത്തനം. ഏകദേശം 300-400 ഭക്തർക്ക് ദിവസവും സൗജന്യ ഭക്ഷണം നൽകുന്നു.. എല്ലാ വർഷവും ജൂൺ 1 അന്നദാനം ദിനമായി ആചരിക്കുന്നു. ഈ ദിവസം ആയിരക്കണക്കിന് ആളുകൾക്ക് വിഭവസമൃദ്ധമായ വിരുന്ന് നൽകുന്നു.
