Kodungoor Devi Temple[2] is a famous temple located at Kodungoor, Kerala, India. The primary deity of this temple is Kodungooramma. Its antiquity was estimated above 200 years. The temple initially belonged to Madathil family and was later taken up by the Travancore Devaswom Board.[3]

In March 2023, the temple held a unique "festival of women" in which there was a parade of female elephants. This was a break with mostly patriarchal tradition of the past.[4]
