Beautiful temple. First visited Padivattom Pakkalam Sree Mahadeva temple and then walking down further there was highway road that we had to cross and opposite side was Anchumana road that led to Anchumana Devi temple. The wooden stand is being made which would replace the metal stand for hoisting the temple flag. Felt good visiting the temple

It is a large Temple complex very close to the highway(NH 66).
Plenty of Parking space inside the ground. They have a counter within the campus where devotees can procure the offerings and pay for the Pujaas. They do accept UPI payments. Every evening at 7.30 pm they have a beautiful aarti.
