The great Varaha
temple of Kerala famous for its
Abeeshta Sidhi pooja(Desire fulfilling
worship)
Panniyur Maha
Varaha Temple
Compiled by
P.R.Ramachander
This is the very famous Varaha temple in Kerala (There is a Lakshmi
Varaha temple in Trivandrum) and it is believed that it was the first temple to be
consecrated by Lord Parasurama after
recovering the land of Kerala from the sea.It is situated in a place
called KUmbidi in Palakkad district ,
near a place called Kuttipuram
There is an
interesting story about this temple
.Lord Parsurama r to get rid of the sin of killing several kshatriyas had to dobate all the land he had won to sage Kashyapa.
After that he became a person who is landless .AS per instruction of Lord
Vishnu , he stood up
on the Gokarna mountains and threw his axe in to the sea and recovered
some land from the sea.The new land had
lots of problems and Lord Vishnu instructed
him to v build a Varaha temple so that the land gets stabilised.This is the temple
of Mahavaraha in Panniyur , Kumbdi. Some
how atttemptes to build a temple v building there did not succeed .Once when some carpenters
were trying to v build it , an old man who was sad came in to the temple .The carpenters neglected
him and even refused to give him food.He was Perumthachan the great
carpenter who was son of sage Vararuchi.He theninspected the wod
that they were going to use
to build the temple and marked several defects in them and left. But
that night the carpenters were woken up by the sound of chisel of Peruthachan ,
who completed the work of that temple. HE then told that carpenters that he
would never touch the chisel and
this would be the last temple built by
him .His chisel and rod are still preserved
u in this great temple.
Later many families
of Nambudiris settled in Kerala.The family called Azhvanchery THambrakkal
settled down in Panniyur and
Kalpanchery thamprakkal settled down in
the neighbouring Suka puram. There was
rivalry between these villages and in this rivalry where black magic was
involved the original idol of Maha Varaha
was broken and burnt.A great scholar called Appath Adeeri
six hundred years that the temple
would regain its glory He had also predicted
that if a devotee says.
“Varahamurthy Rakshikkane(Oh Lord Varaha
please protect me” thrice , he would get
fred of all his problems. He also had
said that any one doing “Abeeshta Karya
Sidhi pooja”(Worship for fulfilment of
desires) in this temple would get g his desires fulfilled.
A recent Deva
Prashna conducted in 1983 had indicated
that in two revolutions of Saturn(60 years) the temple would become as prominenent
as Guruvayur and SAbari Mala
This temple is the only one in Kerala to worship the ‘Varaha’
avatar of Shri Vishnu. This temple also houses and worhips Updevtas like
Sri Shiva (‘Vadakovil’), Sri Ayyappa, Sri Durgabhagavathy,
Sri Ganapathy, Sri Subramanya and Sri Lakshmi Narayan. This temple is
also said to have the blessings of Chitragupta and Yakshi. This
temple also has a stage and a huge ground to accommodate spectators. The
legendary ‘Panniyur thura’ is located just to the North of the Mahakshetra. It
is believed that the fishpond constructed by Parashuram used to be located just
a little south of the temple.

important one happens to be the ‘Abhishta Sidhdhi Puja’. This puja costs
Rs.101/- and is believed to pave way for ‘Abhishta Karya Sidhdhi’.
