'''Nariampara Puthiyakavu Devikshethram''' is a [[Hindu temple]] located in Nariampara near [[Kattappana]] in [[Idukki district]] of [[Kerala]] state, [[India]]. The temple is situated on the Kattappana - [[Kuttikkanam]] state highway, about 3&nbsp;km from Kattappana.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Puthiyakavil Devi Temple is a [[family temple]] of Kalloorath family. This temple is co-related to Moothedathu Devi Temple at [[Vaikom]]. The story behind the co-relation is that the grandfather of Gowri Kuttapan (eldest member Kalloorath family) was a staunch believer of Moothedathu Devi. He was also the ''velichappadu'' of Moothedathu Devi Temple. The following generation did not take the position of [[Thiriyuzhichil|Velichapaadu]], so after the Grandfather's death, Gowri Kuttapan inherited his sword.<br />
<br />
After her marriage with Kuttapan, Gowri settled at [[Kattappana]]. During this period Gowri Kuttapan used to light a lamp to venerate the Sword. They faced problems such as [[disease]] and [[poverty]]. Late Kuttapan conducted a Devaprasanam (astrological verification). In Devaprasanam the presence of [[Devi]] was visualised, and Devi needed shelter outside the house. So in the early 20th century, Late Kuttapan built a small building, but wished to build a proper temple.<br />
<br />
In 1989, the Kalloorath family, headed by K.K. Thankapan, built a new temple. Family members involved the public in administering the temple, selecting 51 neighbours as the [[Board of governors|governing body]].<br />
<br />
==Festivals==<br />
Kumbha Bharani Mahotsavam hosted during February and March is the most noted festival of the temple.<br />
