The history of the Nadackal Sree Bhagavathy temple is mysterious. There are many legends connected to the temple, and the people who visit the premises automatically fall into a reverential trance like state. It is believed that the temple functioned under a Brahmin family who, under unclear circumstances handed it over to the Poonjar Royal Family. The temple has the deity of Bhadrakali. The idol is a ‘Kannadi Bimbam’ resembling the shape of a mirror. The four walls of the sanctum sanctorum have lamps carved on rock, which is a hallmark of the temples belonging to the Poonjar Royal Family. In 2015, a shrine for Ayappa was built in the temple premises to house an idol given by a family to the Bhadrakali Temple four decades prior. The Meenabharani and Patham uthayam festivals are celebrated here.
