Valamchuzy, the town of temples has the "Sree Bhuvaneswary" temple one of the oldest temples in Pathanamthitta.It is believed to have been built over 2000 years ago. The Anchankovil river surrounds the temple on 3 sides and that’s how the place got its name. Legend has it that a devotee brought a flower that was the very incarnation of Goddess Bhuvaneswary from Kodungallur temple. He made a frantic search to locate the most suitable spot to install the flower. It was then that the devotee received a divine inspiration that he should install the flower at Valamchuzy where the river Achankovil circumvents the place from three sides. The birth day of the Goddess is celebrated on the bharani day in the malayalam month of makaram. The flag hoisting signalling the start of the festival is held on the pururuttathy day of Makaram and concludes with the Arattu on the 10th day. The most auspicious day, however, is on the fifth day of the festival that coincides with the birth day of Goddes Bhuvanaswary.This particular day is marked by a lot of fervor,celebrations and festivities.
