Adiyerimadam is a vital pilgrim centre of Malabar blessed with the arrival of ‘Parasurama’
in the distant past. This temple complex situates at Aralam, a deep village, 10
K.M from Iritty town. ‘Siva Sakthi’ chaithanyam is very much here. Believers worship
here for ‘Mangalya bhagyam’ and ‘Sandhana bhagyam’. Kaliyatta Mahotsavam, Thrikkarthika,
Vijayadasami etc. are the festivals of importance here. Temple administrative committee
is committed to convene a variety of activities for the spiritual awakening and
other charity works for the people.
It is believed that the four ‘Thanthrik Mutts’ - Adiyeri,Pullanchery,Kalakattu,Kattumadam
– are following the thanthrik cults preached by ‘Parasurama’. In all the mutts thirty
nine deities are being worshipped. “Uchitta Bhagavathi” at Adiyeri, “Bhairavan”
at Pullanchery, “Kuttichathan” at Kalakattu, and “Karuval Bhagavathi” at Kattumadam
are the deities of importance in each branches. Among the four mutts of Malabar,
Adiyeri Mutt has a pivot position.
