Sri Nellikulangara Bhagavathi Temple is a temple located in Nemmara village, Nemmara,Palakkad district ,Kerala,India . It is a temple dedicated to the diety , Nellikulangara Bhagavathi . The temple forms an integral part of the rituals of Nenmara-Vallanghi Vela on April (every year)nnThe folklore related to Goddess Nellikulangara Bhagavathi can be said to be rather interesting. The religious scripts of the shrine also talk about the same. Many years ago, Kodakara Nair travelled to the hills of Nelliyampathy hills via Nemmara. Upon reaching the hills of Nelliyampathy, he was exhausted and he resolved to rest for a while beneath the shadow of a nearby tree.He kept an umbrella which was composed of palm leaves that had been dried, close to him. The Goddess who came to visit the place that he was seeking rest in, had attached herself to his umbrella. When the man came back to Nemmara, he wasn't aware of the fact that he was bringing along with him, Goddess Bhagavathi to the village of Nemmara. When he reached Nemmara, he kept his umbrella close to a pond, by the name of Kothakulam.Later on, when he attempted to move the umbrella it wouldn't budge. Later, people of the village realized that there is a divine energy that Kodakara Nair acquired from the hills of Nelliyampathy and also the fact that it wishes to reside there and bless the village and its people. A shrine, which is now famous by the name of Sree Moolasthanam was erected at the spot where Nair kept the umbrella. People of the village started praying to Goddess Bhagavathi and she blessed them. After many years, some saints and astrologers were of the opinion that Nellikulangara was a better place to build the temple. As a result of this, The Devaswom of Cochin constructed a new shrine, which is now popular as Nellikulangara for Goddess Bhagavathi there.
