Sree Chinakkathoor Bhagavathy Temple is located in Palappuram and about 5 km from Ottappalam, Palakkad, north Kerala. The temple is in the middle of a huge ground where the Chinakkathoor pooram is conducted every year. There are two shrines are Thazhekavu (lower shrine) and Melakavu (upper shrine). Melakavu is believed to be older than Thazekavu. The priests of the upper shrine traditionally come from the Kulangara nair family of Palappuram. Namboothiri priests do the pujas in the lower shrine and in the ten days of Pooram. They are in charge of the upper shrine as well. There is a shrine dedicated to Lord Vigneshwara (Ganapati) who is believed to be in his divine "Vidya Ganapati" form, adjoining the temple complex near the iconic banyan tree (ficus religiosa).
