Kappil Bhagavathy Temple is a famous temple in southern Kerala located at Kappil, Thiruvananthapuram.

There are two temples, one for Lord Siva and the other for Devi Bhadrakali.

The festival in Bhadrakali temple is very famous and it happens on the day of "Meena Bharani" which is a famous day all over the Kerala.

Kappil Lord Shiva temple is believed to be about 2,000 years old. The idol of Lord Shiva faces to the west. The legend says that there was a 5,000-year-old temple, which was positioned in the same direction towards west but was buried inside by the Arabian sea. That 5,000-year-old temple did have a ‘Swarna kodi maram-/Golden Falg Staff’ .

Kappil Bhagavathy Temple is listed in many histories of Kerala. The old royal family from Thiruvithaamkoor used to visit this place during their summer vacation. It is believed by residents of the area that the cosmic power of this temple is strong. The Kripa of Lord Shiva flows like the River Ganges.

The temple is considered as an apt spot for those who seek self-realization.
