A MAN DEDICATED FOR GOD Alakkad is a famous place in kankol alapadamba grama panchayath of of kannur district. It was assumed that dakha yaga was held in this place and the flowers for it was obtained from here and hence the name “yagakkad” which later shortened to Alakkad. In Alakkad there is irukara bhagavathis,(Bhagavathi’s of two lands) randu kara devanmar and Konginichal Bhagavathi and koodeyullor. Konginichal Bhagavathi is a theyaam of Konginichal Kavu and Koodeyuloor is kattumoorthy of Konginichal Kavu. The temple belonged to the tharavad of mayil valli payyadakkath. But the Bhagavthi stands for the whole village. There are eight more theyyams in this temple viz. Kakkara bhagavathi, Raktha chamundi, Pulikantan, Kannikkorumakan, Kattumoorthi, Kannamthottu Bhagavathi The karanavar of the temple must get achaaram( Mudra or Pattom) from Chirakkal Kovilakam Rajav(King) and will become “Unikkal Kurup” who will be the first person of the Bhagavathi. Kunhappan Unikkal Kurup(formerly known as Kunhappan Nair) was the last Karanvar who got mudra(kachu,churika and vati) from Chirakkal Kovilakm Rajavu. Afterwards Unikkal Kurup is called as payyadakkathachan by common people of the area.People of some casts call hime “Nattar” Kunhappan Unikaal Kurup became the Karanvar of the temple in his 17 years till 2012 June 11 when he passed away in his 89. Payyadakkathachn was a man with excellent Persondlity, intelligence and stands for justice and merit. He has knowledge of astrology, mantras and Sanskrit. He has been doing the karmas of the temple. When he became the Karanava of the temple he has been doing the karma with another "achan" for the first time.but that achan was not an efficient person. From the temple yard  he said that in the next year he will get pattom(mudra)from chirakkal kovilakam. He was a best farmer and ploguh land with bulls. when the next year year's theyaam was very near some body from  the paddy field asked him about his becoming 'achan' in the coming year. Then he replied that Isimply told it and I am not going to become achan because I have so many problems and without me my paddy fild will not be ok and  I will bring new “achan” who is very efficient. He untied the bulls from the field and let them free. In the evening when he was taking rest at home some one told that one of his bull was died on the rock where it was left for browsing. He was lying keeping his head on the door step. Some one who came at home asked hime whether he was tired of the death of the bull. He said that doesn’t matter. Suddenly they saw the other bull exhibiting some symptoms of illnes from the cattle shed. He went and looked and found that the other one also died. On the next day he brougt an astrologer to the temple and in the prsence of the local people ' prasna' was made in the temple. The astrologer said that he told against the devi from the paddy field and the devi is furious about that. He must become the achan of the temple. He requested 4 years concession from becoming the achan of the temple. But the devi does not allow. Then all the gathered stood up and prayed for one years concession. Devi did not allow it and told that he will not remain in the next year if he is not doing so. Finally he yielded and became the achan of the temple Once he became the Karanavan he partititioned the entire proerty among his nephews.At that time it was marumakkathayam. The land in which he lived was bought from one of his nephews for money. His life and work were eventful which will be described in different topics.
