==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The name Pattazhy has an uncertain [[etymology]]. Pattazhy may stem from an imperfect [[Malayalam]] [[portmanteau]] fusing Patt ("Soft") and Aazhy ("[[Ocean]]"). Thus the word Pattazhy represents the compassion and affection of Pattazhy [[Devi]] to her beloved devotees and depth of her grace. The name Pattazhy may have also derived from the word ''Bhattarika'' which means a [[virtuous]] and [[Piety|pious]] woman.

==Culture==
Pattazhy is a [[temple]] village situated in [[Pathanapuram]] [[Taluk]] of [[Kollam]] [[District]] in [[Kerala]]. The land of Pattazhy comprising two [[panchayat]] areas (Pattazhy and Pattazhy vadakekara) was given as a gift to Pattazhy Devi by the King of [[Travancore]] for the help and shelter given in the fierce fight against the king of [[Kayamkulam]]. When the king was extending his kingdom by winning war with the neighboring kingdoms with the help of [[Ramayyan Dalawa]], Kambithan, a hardcore worshipper of Pattazhy Devi helped the king to take over [[Kayamkulam]] Kingdom. As a symbol of his gratitude the king ordered to let Pattazhy be named and dedicated to Devi by issuing a royal order.
The annual [[festival]] at Pattazhy Devi Temple is one of the famous temple festivals in central [[Travancore]]. The Kumbhathiruvathira and Meenathiruvathira were the famous festivals of Pattazhy. The [[festival]] is known for Kambam ([[fire works]]), Aalpindi Vilakku Ezhunnallathu (Procession of small structure made out of [[Plantain (cooking)|plantain]] kernel and germinating leaves of [[coconut]] tree with numerous lamps on it), Ponnin Thirumudi ([[Devi]]'s idol carved out of pure [[gold]] and rare precious stones) Ezhunnallathu.
