On the left of the sanctum sanctorum, there is the idol of Mother Divine. Legend has it that this idol was worshipped by Kachanappaaly couples. They were great devotees of the Mother Goddess at Kodungallor. They used to walk 40 kms, to have a glimpse of the Goddess at Kodungalloor. The Mother Divine, in Her compassion, came to this Temple and sat on the left of the Divine Child, to please Her devotees !

 

 

As per Indian Philosophy, Purusha and Prakriti are the male and female components of the Ultimate. The Sanskrit poets symbolised them as Krishna and Radha and as Siva and Sakti. They are actually inseparable. How can Purusha exist  without Prakriti and vice versa ? So both are worshipped in Hinduism !
