Neeliyamma or Kottathamma (Mother of the grove) is the Hindu deities, deity here. According to the lore, a wise and beautiful woman, Neeli, turned in to a bloodthirsty demon after a local king betrayed and murdered her. But ever since a man took her for a compassionate mother, she turned into a motherly form. The Goddess came along with a priest of Kalikattu illam when he was returning from Kottiyoor.
