Mighty Goddess Durga is worshipped by a number of devotees, in this temple. The Devi temple is administered by Malabar Devaswom Board, under the Government of Kerala. All the acts and works of the temple are supervised by the Variar family and non hereditary appointed trustees. Two rituals are mainly performed in Kadampuzha on a daily basis, namely ‘Poomoodal’ and ‘Muttarukkal’.
Every year, thousands of devotees come to Kadampuzha Temple to seek the blessings of Goddess Durga. The Muttarukkal ritual is performed only in the morning between 5 am and 7 am, while the Poomoodal ritual is done between 9 am and 11 am. After completing these two main rituals, the temple is closed. Thereafter, it is opened to the devotees at 6 pm and soon closes at 7 pm. Food offering or Annadaanam is done at the temple everyday. Entering into the temple makes the devotees forget all their worries and gives them the much-needed positive energy to live the life constantly. Karthikai Day of the Vrishchikam Month is grandly celebrated here. Like any other temple in Kerala, Kadampuzha Devi Temple also has some special and influential days to visit. These include Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
