Cherukunnu Annapoorneshwari Temple, also known as Cherukunnilamma Temple, is the only Durga temple in Kerala where Goddess Parvathi is in ‘Annapoorna Bhavam’ (Goddess of Nourishment). ‘Annam’ in Malayalam language means ‘food’ and ‘Poornam’ (purnam) means full. The meaning of the Bhavam Annapurna is one who gives food to every needy in plenty. Here the idol is consecrated with a ladle in one hand. Annapurna is the goddess with a golden ladle.
Sree Annapoorneshwari Temple is situated in Cherukunnu, 15 km from Taliparamaba, in Kannur district of Kerala, India. This temple is in a beautiful locality with back waters around a large portion, and in the midst of hills with greenery all around.
At this Temple, Lord Krishna is enshrined with Sree Annapoorneswari. It is believed that Sree Annapoorneswari had visited this shrine which was under the sea. There is a mythological belief that this shrine was elevated by Sage Parashurama.
The Annapoorneshwari temple was especially a shrine of the Lord Krishna. But due to the prevailing circumstances of that period, the temple was constructed for the main deity Goddess Parvati, instead of Lord Krishna. The construction of the temple was headed by the Raja-Raja Varma and he was from the Chirakkal Kovilakam. Chirakkal Kovilakam was considered very important in the period of the young rulers and the kings.
