Kunnathunada Balabhadra Temple, Irumpa


Kunnathunada Balabhadra Devi temple is a Hindu religious shrine located near Irumpa, Aruvikkara. Goddess Bhadrakali is the main deity in this temple.


If you seek spiritual enlightenment, chanting the Goddess Mantra can bring a lot of positive energy into your life. The DEVI is revered as the Goddess of Time, Creation, Destruction and Power.



Balabhadra is a vicious form of Hindu Goddess Devi, known for the indestructible nature. Balabhadra devi is commonly depicted with 18 arms all carrying weapons as she rides atop a fierce tiger. 



Balabhadra devi carries the weapons which are endeared to her as a defender of the world. She is frequently seen slaying demons and it is said that she was created to fight off the incredible might of the asura Mahishasura.



Balabhadra devi is known as the preserve of Earth. She is simultaneously portrayed as the giver and destructor of life. 



However, in most of the interpretations she is portrayed as ferocious and she is the mother of the world and the treasure-house of compassion. She is considered as the primordial mass from which all life arouses.



If you are at Trivandrum and tired after prolonged work schedules, then take a drive to this amazing/powerful temple which could bring a lot of positive energy to your life. The place is comparatively less crowded where you could get a historical essence with divine feelings. 


By Car – The temple is located about 12km from Trivandrum. If you are heading towards Ponmudi, take a deviation from Karakulam towards Aruvikkara road and it’s hardly 2mts drive.

Visit this powerful temple at least once in a life-time.

My great day at Ponmudi - The Golden peak

Ponmudi – The Golden peak is located in the God’s own country, Kerala. The hill station is just 50 kms away from the city center, Thiruvananthapuram . We all connected and networked all through our life. I was just trying to break it out and welcome the nature with vast arms where silence greets you and you are cut off from the world.  I just did that and got away for a Sunday, a retreating into the hills, running away from the urban civilization with my family. We felt a change immediately after we passed Kallar. The ride has turned out to be a smooth one and quickly we were inside the forest area. The roads were curvy but it was fantastic and I was really enjoying the drive.  It was a thrilling experience to navigate all 22 Hairpin curves. The major picnic spot on the way to Ponmudi is the Meenmutti waterfalls. Have to trek 1km through the dense forest to reach the awesome waterfalls. We were really enjoying the climb through the thick forest....

The haunting story – Bonacaud Bungalow!

Bonacaud is known for its breathtaking beauty. Bonacaud was once a majestic tea estate set up by the British right below the Agasthya mountain ranges in Trivandrum.  Bonacaud is very close to Ponmudi hills, taking a deviation at the Theviyode Junction, takes you to Bonacaud. The road forward is fairly rough. Be careful as you drive along this winding road because coming across wildlife is a common occurrence. As you go on, you might get to see the Peppara Dam in all its grandeur. Getting a good glimpse however is rare as the area is almost always shrouded in a thick layer of mist. The plush green mountain ranges move past your windows and the buildings in the Bonacaud estate stand grimly in the distance. The journey started with one of my close friends, Rajesh and his wonderful team of colleagues.  Trekking expeditions are quite common in this area and quite a few groups arrive every day to explore the factory ruins and the famous, haunt...

Trip to Kodaikanal – The Queen of Hill stations

Trip to Kodaikanal – Queen of Hill stations This post is about our travel to Kodaikanal -The princess of Hill stations Hills and mountains always keep mesmerizing to me. So, we always keep looking for a chance to travel to hill stations and spend some time in the lap of nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city. I’ve of course travelled some of the hill stations (like Munnar, Ooty, Ponmudi etc) but Kodaikanal is the best I would say of all the hill-stations.  Just sharing my travel experience to Kodaikanal -in the lap of mother nature. Kodaiknal is the city in Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu. The nearby hill stations like Ooty and Munnar have been highly commercialized, but Kodaikanal still enjoys the advantage of being a picturesque hill-station.  Kodaikanal mostly encompass of a close community and other basic infrastructure. There are some beautiful visiting spots and the economy is mostly driven ...

Vellanickal Rock - A Replica to Ponmudi.

For nature lovers, Vellanickal, a verdant hilltop is the perfect paradise. The road to Vellanickal goes via rubber plantations and the stretch of the road is quite rough and proves a challenge to both driver and vehicle. It was tricky and treacherous with lots of twists and turns. We reached the hilltop at evening by car. The small roadside teashops will give a good treat to your taste buds with the indigenous cuisine.  The changing face of villages and the influence of city culture can be seen throughout. The green fields and big old trees on the roadsides will surely attract you. The vast stretch of hills and valleys were enveloped with the clouds shades. It is a place for quiet meditation as you watch the sun sink in the western horizon. The cool breeze gives it the feel of a hill station. A part of the Western Ghats running parallel to the Arabian Sea, this place has been blessed with natural beauty in abundance.  Its ...

Elephant Rehabilitation park - a travel diary

From ancient days elephants have been an important part of the history and tradition of Kerala.  It’s not a fairy tale but I want you to take through the visuals that I come across at Elephant Rehabilitation Centre located at Kottur. The morning sun in its childish drive lures myriad figures in the water reservoir with the black majesties having their grand bath – Both big and the small. My son Abhinav standing behind the mammal with a prehensile trunk.  It's always fun to visit multiple locations on one trip, but I think it also actually depends on the ages of those on holiday. As a child, I loved spending time in one vacation spot, getting attached to the location, becoming comfortable, and feeling as though I were at home.  This is something I would like for my children to experience. Have you ever seen an elephant bathing in a lush forest?  Some of them joyfully get into the water reservoir for getting their tough skin scrubbed. Peace l...
