==Origin==<br />
In earlier days priests worshiped 'Bhadrakali'. They sacrificed animals to please the Devi. At that time this was<br /> a common thing. One day Sree Narayana Guru came there. He raised his voice against this brutal and ancient act and stopped the<br /> animal sacrifice at the temple. Here Guru made a new Prathista after the famous Aruvippuram Prathista. Later Guru advised the <br />Chief priest of the temple to worship Devi as 'Sree Parvathy'. Guru also wrote a poem, which hails the Devi, Known as<br /> "Mannanthala Devi Stavam".From that day onwards Devi has been worshiped as 'Sree Parvathy'.<br />
<br />
