Eighty nine acres of prime forest, untouched by human greed, right near developing Angamaly in Keralam! Unbelievable. Isn’t it?
Local belief is that the land belongs to Devi temple inside it.Axe or any iron implement is not allowed to be carried inside. We saw a tall tree just lying across the path to the temple. At twelve noon, it was dark inside the forest which remains as it was thousands of years ago, when the followers of legendary Parashuram started felling trees for human settlement. His weapon was the axe.
The devi Gurga temple is one of the 108 such temples mentioned in the book normally available in Hindu families. The undergrowth is so thick that we cannot stray from the trodden path.The immediate surroundings of the temple is cleared and kept clean.
