Cholakkara Durga temple

Revival of Cholakkara Bhagavathi temple in Malappuram that were destroyed during 1921 riots.

During the 1921 Moplah Riots, the rioters destroyed the temple and forced the caretaker family to leave. When they refused, the daughter was violated. With no hope, the family left the temple and all their property.

The revival of the temple is happening 100 years after.

The efforts have started with preliminary round of discussions with those who have encroached the temple land and blocking its restoration. The neighbors who encroached temple land have joined hands under Kunheen and is trying best to block the temple restoration.
