English: Manalaru Kavu Bhagavathy Temple is located at Viyyur Manalaru near Thrissur- in Kerala, India . The temple is traditionally decorated with plantain, coconut leaves, flowers, leaves, traditional lamps and lights. The kavadi attam is steeped in mythology. At Mount Kailas, Lord Shiva entrusted the dwarf saint sage Agastya with two hillocks, the Shivagiri Hill and the Shaktigiri Hill, with instructions to carry and install them in South India. The sage left them in a forest and later asked his disciple, Idumban, to get them. Idumban found the two hillocks but could not initially lift them, until he obtained divine help.
