Chembukkavu Bhagavathy Temple is a Hindu temple situated in Chembukkavu, Thrissur city of Kerala, India. Cochin Devaswom Board controls the temple. It is one of the 108 Durga temples in Kerala. The temple is a participant in the Thrissur Pooram every year. The Bhagavathy at the Ayyanthole temple is considered to be the elder sister of the Chembukkavu Bhagavathy.[1][2] It is believed that the goddess has kanyaka bhava . Also, the goddess is prone to strong sunlight so her processions to the Vadakkumnathan temple occur before intense sunlight
