Travel Tips Of Kulathupuzha Sastha Temple
Kollam, Kerala, India
History and Legend: The Kulathupuzha Sastha Temple is a highly revered shrine dedicated to Lord Ayyappa, depicted here as Bala Sastha or a child. It is situated on the scenic banks of the Kulathupuzha River, a tributary of the Kallada River, nestled within the lush reserve forest ranges of eastern K ollam. This ancient temple is one of the five important Sastha shrines in Kerala believed to have been established by Lord Parashurama. The presiding deity is known for being in both a fierce (Ugramoorthi) and an auspicious (Mangalapradayakan) mood. A unique aspect of the temple is the sacred pond where thousands of fish, known as Thirumakkal (divine children), are protected and fed by devotees as a religious offering. The temple attracts pilgrims from both Kerala and Tamil Nadu, seeking blessings for health and prosperity. The surrounding forest adds a serene and spiritual atmosphere to the entire complex. It remains a cornerstone of the Travancore Devaswom Board's heritage sites.
