After the 'Kandezhuth' this place was included in the Karunagappally taluk. Valiyakulangara is famous for a 'Devi temple' believed to be erected during the early centuries of Kollavarsham. Up to the beginning of Kollavarsham 1050 only one annual festival was celebrated in the temple, called 'Meena Bharani'. Later the 'Karakkaar' decided to celebrate Kumbha Bharani also on the Kaarthika Nakshathram of Kumbham.
