Madayikkavu is one of the important Shakteyakavus in North Kerala. Kavil is historically very unique as it has a variety of rituals and ceremonies. Constructions shaped by man and nature since prehistoric times are part of the national heritage. We cannot survive without realizing it. The history of a period in North Malabar is related to Madayipara and Madaikkavu. Kavu and its environs are a melting pot of nature, historical cultures and oral traditions. Kolasvarupam was one of the prominent feudal families in North Kerala after the Mushika dynasty. Ezhimala, Madayi, Taliparamba, Valapattanam and Srikantapuram were the headquarters of the mouse dynasty, which once ruled over the vast landmass between the Chandragiri river in the north and the Korappuzha river in the south. Thiruvarkad Bhagavathy is the goddess of the Kolas form. The Perinchalloor (Taliparamba) Temple was built by Satasoman (Sutasoman), the eleventh king of the mouse dynasty. Sri Bhadrakali, the family deity of the Kolasvarupa, was specially worshiped there. Centuries later, according to the goddess, it is said that in 344 A.D., Kolathunattarachan raised Sri Bhadrakali and performed the deity Bhadrakali.
The worship of Goddess Kali was also important in Kerala based on the myth of Darikavadha. 
The concept of the Mother Goddess in the world even before the year of Christ existed. The concept of fertility existed in India even before the Indus Valley Civilization. Rituals that continue to this day in Kali temples and kavus are associated with this concept. The concept of Kali is the triumph of good over evil. The concept of Kali punishing the wicked and saving the virtuous continues as a great tradition of caste-religious harmony, giving prominence to all castes and religions in the society. Kavu, who guards the forest, has not deviated much from Kavu's concept. The practice of tying theyyakkolams in temples is very rare. Eight theyyams are built on the day of the kalasa outside the perimeter of the Madaikavu, which preserves the character of the temple and the kavin. Thiravarkattu Bhagwati, Someshwari, Kalariyil Bhagwati.
Kali, who was born of parasitism to slay the poor, used to perform Pooram on the south side of the rock where it is believed that he slayed the poor. Legend has it that Parameswaran asked his disciple Parasurama to locate his daughter, who was screaming in anger and settling down. Historians in the Brahmanda Puranas believe that Goddess Parshuram was the deity of Madayikavu. Legend has it that Parasurama commissioned ten-year-old Pisharas to perform Shakteya Puja. It is claimed that the Pisharas may have evolved into Pitarars and are descendants of the Bengali Brahmin sect, a sect of Brahmins. The changes in temple customs, agrarian culture and worship after Aryanization can be read in conjunction with this. Kali Pooja and the concept of Mother Goddess are inhabited by non-Aryan cults.
Sreeparameswaran, the daughter of a man who hid in the sky and covered his face with his unkempt hair, entered the fort at night, day and night, and hid his tongue on the ground, which was hidden outside the fort. The lake became muddy. Everlasting on the rock as an everlasting water-carrier. This is what is said in the Thiruvarkadu Kavil Bhadrakali Kalam song.
Nulittal day in the ocean and three quarters of an hour keantantblayikkarappetutti matikkiccamaccu Roast rock, spongy patavumakki-tekkenakkiyilum vatakkenakkiyilum against both cannuvalinnuvatukunda hive of steam, I vatukundappaneyumWash kaikumpi purakkatavilI kallennu steam to the trick and will reside
Variations can be found in the temple name Thiruvarkadu Kavu. It is said that the place where the goddess fell on the conch was constantly shaken and the place where Tiru Eru was brought was called Thiruvirayalkavu. Thiruvarkad Kavu may be the epitome of Thirulot Kavu and Thiruvirayalkavu seen in the defeat of the leopard Thondachan Theyyam. It can be added that the history of the legends is revealed when the area which was once a beach is connected with the legend.
According to Bhagwati say tiruvarkkatt teyyattinre munmealiyilbalaviryamayi lovedevery paradevata formulated tiruvarkkatt Bhagwatipernam keantantkayyaletuttu fiterinnukeanna erukat
It is said that Thiruerukkad became the Thiruvarkadu Kavu and the Thiruvarkadu Kavu is more relevant as a temple built in the forest where a poor man was thrown to his death.
The rituals of Mataikavu are an example of how in the past, places of worship emphasized caste and religion harmony. Kavu is associated with Brahmins as Tantris, Pitarans as Pujaris, Nayans as traditional heirs, Yadavas, Theiyars, Malays, Shaliars and Mukayars. There is a special arrangement for this kavu in the area, which refers to the caste and religious harmony, from addressing the Mappilas as Ariyapoonkanni Theyyakkolam is built and saying Matai Nagarame.
Madayikkavu is one of the Shakteyakavus performed by Koothu in North Kerala. One of the rare temples in Kerala where Koothu is performed in the temple front hall. The Mani Chakyar family has the right to perform koothu. Anguliyankam, the sixth act of Shakti Bhadra's Acharya Choodamani, is presented in Madayikavu. Kavil Koothu has been performing from Kanni Sankram to Tula Sankram. Kavil Koothampalam and the earthen mizha are special. After the Koothu at Madaikavu, Chemballikundu caught the crocodile crossing the Chakyar and prayed to Madaikavilamma in despair that if he escaped, he would go back and immediately perform the Mantrankam Koothu. The prayer was answered and Chakyar and his group returned and performed the koothu according to the prayer.
When the 100 pots that came were scattered by Saturn, an order was issued from Chirakkal Kolothu to conduct a problem meditation at Thiruvarkadu Kavil. If Vannan is tied up, a bunch will fall on Saturday. If Malayan is tied, a group will leave Saturn. The Madayi man calls Polla to get rid of the hundred and eight Saturns. It is decided to tie the theyyams like Marikaliyan, Marikalichi, Marikulian, Mamayakulian and Mamayakalichi. Thus, the plague of Chetta goes away and becomes hollow and ritualistic.
From time immemorial, the Pongala is offered by the Mukayas in Madayikavu, and is only a ritual that is not well known. Pongala has been celebrated in North Kerala since time immemorial by the Mukaya community with new art offerings. It continues to this day without fail. On the ninth day of Makaram, they come with rice in a new pot and offer it to Kavilamma. The families of Muttam, Karakkadavathu, Carol, Vengat and Madayi have been practicing the Iowa ritual with devotion.
According to the Puranas, the Kalamezhuthu, which is said to be a dust image, was first formed by Subramanian, the son of Lord Shiva. The theyyams and festivals at the Kavus and temples in North Malabar begin with the ritual of Kalathilari, which is held in Madayikavu during the month of Tula, to calm down Kali, who is not able to kill the poor. Bhadrakali's rough form is made by mixing rice powder, turmeric powder, black powder, red powder made by mixing lime and turmeric, and green powder of Wakayila. It is shaped like red and green and filled with rice and paddy and sprinkled with colored powder. The painted floor is decorated with lamps and garlands.
Kalathilari, a ritual performed in the temples of the Bhagavad Gita, is performed for the pleasure of the deity. In Madayikavu, kalathilari and song are performed three times a year. Eight days in the month of Libra, thirty days in Scorpio and thirteen days in Capricorn are considered special features of all the months of the year. Vishu in Medam, Kalasam in Idavam, Pratishtha in Gemini, Nira in Karkitakam, Chingapputhari and Thiruvonam, Koothu in Kanni, Eight songs in Thulavathu, Kalathilari in Thirty, Kalathilari in Scorpio, Panthalkaran in Sagittarius and Poothilathri in Thirteen songs in Capricorn.
Pooram, a spring festival, is celebrated in Madayikavu with special poojas and Poorankuli. Thidampezhunnallam, Kalaripayattu, Poorakali, Unniyappa Nivedyam, Poorankuli and the market held in connection with it are famous as part of the pre-festival which lasts for nine days from the Karthika day in Meenam.
Different aspects of the concept of Mother Goddess as reconciled as Mother Nature, such as Kali, Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati, appear before us from time to time as devotional figures with different cultural variations. Iowa conceptions play a vital role in reinforcing the social concept. Kavu, which does not change much in its rituals, is a symbol of the patriotism of the forest around Kavu. By waiting for history, myths, stories, cultural pride and the rhythm of nature.
A look at the history of Cola
The historical structure of Kerala was formed during the Sangam period, which is considered important in Tamil literature. The Iowa period was the first five centuries A.D. Kerala, then part of Tamil Nadu, was then spread over five states viz., Venad, Kuttanad, Poozhinadu and Kakkanad. Poozhinadu is considered to be a swampy area comprising the coastal areas of present day Kannur district and some parts of Kozhikode district. The area became known as the Mouse Dynasty.
In the early days of the Sangam period, important parts of Kerala were ruled by three royal powers. While the Ay kings ruled over the southern regions, the Ezhimala kings dominated the northern lands and other lands among the Chera kings.
Konkanam was the name given to the coastal region between Vadakara and Mangalore, the eastern hills, the northern part of Kannur and the western part of it. The name was used to mean a hill by the sea.
Konkanam was the name given to the coastal region between Vadakara and Mangalore, the eastern hills, the northern part of Kannur and the western part of it. The name was used to mean a hill by the sea. All the dynasties of Kerala claim to have their origins with the ancient dynasties of northern India.
The history of the mouse dynasty as the Ezhimala dynasty is not something that stands apart in the Iowa claim. Myths, legends, genealogies and deities are all consciously or unconsciously incorporated into the history of these dynasties. Therefore, the real history can be read only if the rational and authentic history is separated from these. Akananoor, Purananoor, Kurunthokai, Nattinai, Patituppathu and Mushika Vamsakavyam are some of the early narratives of Kerala history, especially Kola history.
Ramaghatamushikan (Iramaghatamoovar), the founder of the mouse dynasty, is said to have been the son of the queen who sought refuge in Ezhimala from Mahishmati in fear of Parshuram, or to have settled in Ezhimala by a Dravidian-speaking sect at the beginning of the Christian era.
King Nandan, the immediate successor of Ramaghatamushikan who founded Kolapatnam, was famous as an eminent ruler of the Mushikavas. Historians are of the opinion that Nannan and Nandan are one of the oldest works of art. Scholars believe that Nandana was one of the sons of King Mushi, who fought against Suvarma, the king of Magadha, and took possession of the inherited kingdom. Another son, Vadu, is seen making Heha the king of the country and Kolapattanam retreating to Nandan.
Narmudicheran, who defeated Nannan, is said to have been the king who ruled from 60 to 75 AD. The first defeat of the Chera king in the historic battle at Pazhi was the culmination of Nannan's victory. The animosity between the Chera dynasty and the Ezhimala dynasty is discussed in Natinai. In the Sangamakala poems, the poet Poykayar sings that the Chera king Kanakal Irumparai killed the king Moovan who came to fight and put his chepal on his door.
There are two divisions in the genealogy. One is the son of Udiyan Cheral of the Vanavaramban branch. Nandana of Ezhimala was his most powerful enemy. The reason for sending the Chera army under the leadership of Ai Ain to go to war was Nannan's retaliatory attack. Instead of the pathetic defeat of Nandan's army in the Battle of Pazhi, Narmudicheral Wakai kills Nandan in the battle of Perumthurai and subjugates him to the Poozhinad dictatorship.
PAZIMALA
Paranan, the chief poet of Nannan, gives a hint about the waste hill lying next to Ezhilmala. It is said that the battle took place at the battlefield of Pazhiparanthalai and that Pani is safe with Nandan's guard. Pazhi Nannan, the capital city of the old Tamil songs, and Pazhi Angadi become the present day Pazhayangadi. Nowhere in the works of Paranar and Azhissi is there any mention of waste, and there is no indication that it is a port area other than Pazhimala and Pazhi. At the same time, there are indications that a good variety of kolam (pepper) was sent from Achalapatnam and that there was a port there. It may have been a naturally formed port on the west side of the Ezhimala. During the reign of Nandan in the 1st century AD, Pazhi became famous as the headquarters of Nandan.
Seasickness and the formation of land and sea areas are natural phenomena that have been going on for many eras. The Arabian Sea is formed as a result of Madagascar leaving India 93 million years ago. Millions of years later, landslides erupted in the western part of India, forming the Deccan Plateau, and the Western Ghats became known as the Western Ghats in the western part of the Deccan Plateau. Due to the fissures in the western part of the Western Ghats, much of it has disappeared under the sea and the eastern parts of the small plateaus have risen. One of the natural calamities that occurred on the coast of Kerala in the twelfth century was the diversion of the Kill River and the formation of the Marahi area in favor of the port area and the establishment of the Valabhan II Kolathiri Marahi city and port. Over time, Valapattanam and Kannur gained prominence through trade and the port of Madayi lost its prominence. Landforms caused by natural disasters have played a major role in shaping the topography of Kerala. This may be the meaning of the Parasurama story that Kerala has moved backwards by the sea.
Between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries, the Ezhimala dynasty, known as the Kolathiri dynasty, ruled from Vallabhbapatnam (Valapattanam) as its new headquarters. The Kolathirimar are the descendants of the Ezhimala kings.
The history of the Iowa dynasty dates back to the death of Srikanta, the one hundred and eighteenth king of the Mushika dynasty. Among them were Ramaghata Mushikan, Nandan, Oushanavarman, Valiyadharan, Satasoman (2nd king) and Valabhan II, who were known as capable rulers.
There is a reference to Satasoma in Chellur Nathodayam Champu. Once upon a time, after returning from a world tour, Sivakinkaran, also known as Kubho Daran, returned to Kailasam. At that time, a king named Satasoman, on the advice of Agastya Maharshi, performed penance for Lord Shiva to appease Kalidosha.
The city was established with the temple and its ancillary facilities. Teainkalanatheadayam, Narayana, Chellur natheadayam papers, and I am pleased to congratulate the Neelakantan insurer has sole ruler, the king of the Kolathiri sataseaman the old headquarters of the tiruvarkkatt kavilekk to kripa as the sole deity of the dynasty kulaparadevata ksetrattiluntayirunna pratipadikkunnuntant.peruncallur killaghutatinikalekkeantearullasasaliyayirunnuvennum that mattered in the villages of Kerala. 344 few pratisthikkukayuntayi the sole perincellukarum. The rivalries between them are said to be the reason for this. According to the legend, Udayavarman's dream of settling with Shakti Pooja in the direction of burning firewood in Kolathiri was fulfilled with the construction of a temple at Madayipara. Although there are legends in the legends, Madayikavu is very important as the ancestral temple of the Kolathiri dynasty. The history of the rat race and the history of the Madayi land, Madayikkavu and Madayipara are intertwined and are of great importance as one of the major contributors to the formation of Kerala history. It is difficult for people to move forward without the backing of history. We can walk through today and tomorrow by stepping on yesterday.
Thiruvarkadu Kavu, Madayi
Thiruvarkadu Kavu, also known as 'Madayikkavu' is a village located in the village of Madayi in Eripuram. It is believed that Madaikavilamma is the poor Kiya Kali. Legend has it that the place where Kav was located was formerly under the sea and was transformed into 'Mata' by the power of the Goddess. That is why Kavin and Nadu got the name 'Madayi'. However, there is no doubt that the site of Kavu was submerged thousands of years ago. In Madayipara, after 30 feet of sandstone and 12 feet of loamy soil, many flakes of charcoal and mud are found. This charcoal may have formed from the trees that flowed into the water, or from the mangroves that grew on the site of the flood at that time. 
At the beginning of the Christian era, Madayipara was the headquarters of the Ezhimala kings. According to T. Pavithran, the most famous of the mouse dynasty kings was Nanna, the headquarters of 'Pazhi' Madayi. It is said that the idol was made in Kerala. It must be assumed that Kerala was born after the time of Nannan. The temple in the capital city of Pazhi or Madayi must have been built after Nanna. After the establishment of 'Kavu' near the settlement which was the headquarters of the country, the plants grew and flourished in the untouched areas. Today, the cave is almost extinct and dates back to a thousand years ago. Punyava and Maroti are the main trees in Kaval at present. Huge grassy vines are the specialty of Iowa Cav. The stems of the grasshopper, the main inhabitant of the deciduous stalks, may have stored a lot of water. In the old days, when the hunters could not get water in the forest, they would carve 'grass' and drink the water. The vast red sand dunes associated with Kau are home to some of the most unique flora and fauna during the monsoon season. There are several previously unrecognized species of Ariocolon and Utricularia. Large-scale mining for the nearby Chinaclay Factory is beginning to threaten the survival of this habitat. Line-up operations for lignite mining are also in full swing across Madayipara.
