MIRACLE OF THE DEVI (GODDESS):
Some 100 years age, there was an unusual outbreak of cholera epidemic in South Travancore which occurred in a most virulent form in this part of the region. Then this region was under the Travancore State. It took a heavy toll of life and it is said that 9 to 10 people in a family, perished due to this terrible epidemic. Every where the death tone was heard. In most of the houses there was no survivor to remove the dead body. It was left to the vultures and owls.
In this precarious condition 8 children died in a family. Only the mother and a child were left out by the scourge. Finally, the child was also affected by the epidemic. At this critical juncture the mother took the child before Kootalumoodu Devi and prayed. The mother having kept the child before the deity fell asleep. She had a dream that the Devi appeared and ordered her to offer her a bunch of plantain and then disappeared. Next morning when the mother woke up, she saw the child lying down nearby her and thought that the child was dead. But actually the child was sleeping comfortably. At once, the mother remembered the vision of Devi in her dream. She saw the child completely safe without any symptoms of cholera. The mother disclosed the miracle to the devotees and thereby the people began to bring bunches of plantain as offerings. All the people got relief and the epidemic disappeared from Koottalumoodu. From that instance people began to offer bunches of plantain.
