Welcome to Palliyarakavu Devi Temple

Vettiyar, as we see now, was a small neighbouring agrarian village of Chunakkara during the past. There was a story behind the development of this name. Agriculture was the prime occupation of the people of Vettiyar then. Once there occured a severe drought which ruined all hopes of villagers. They tried all the ways possible to overcome this naturnal calamity. But their efforts were in vain. Finally the hard working people of this village united together for a common cause. They decided to let the river Achankovil flow through this village converting its natural flow through Pandanad. This made the land more fertile than ever before as the conversion made possible the vailability of water inplents. It is believed that the digging of new flow path of Achankovil river through this village gave the village this name “Vettiyar’’.
