==History==<br />
The Vallikunnam Padayanivettom Devi Temple has been around in service for centuries. In the early times{{when|date=September 2021}}, Kalari Deva's worship was common among the rural people. The worships like [[Padayani]], Thottam pattu, Kalamezhuthu pattu were common for achieving Kalari Deva's favour.{{clarify|date=September 2021}} Once, during Padayani, a group of people saw two [[seraph]]ic women in torchlight. This became a common talk among the people. For an explanation of the incident, the people came to the decision for ''Devaprashna''. According to the Devaprashna, it was known that there was presence of Sree Durga Devi and Sree Bhadra Devi in the locality and that the two seraphs were the two devi. It was decided to create temples for the two devi. Since the two seraphs were seen in Padayani's light the place came to be known as ''Padayanivettom''.<br />
