Paramekkavu Bhagavathy temple is one among the largest temples dedicated to Goddess Durga. This temple in Paramekkavu, Thrissur is in very proximity to the Vadakkumnathan temple. The major deity of the temple is Devi Vaishnavay, the incarnation of Durga Devi, who is believed to have reached Paramekkavu along with Kuruppal (the head of the Nair family) from Thirumadhamkunnu, under his umbrella.

Devotees take her to the temple as a grand tour accompanied with fifteen caparisoned elephants and celebrations. With much grandeur, they make their way to Vadakkumnathan Temple.
The temple is believed to be thousands of years old, with most ancient heritage and history. The temple is widely noted for its architectural pattern and pristine beauty of the surrounding.
