The Kalarivathikkal Bhadrakali Temple is part of Chirakkal Kovilakam Devaswom and is now being managed by the Malabar Devaswom. The property having an extent of 4.40 acres of land in resurveyNo.57/3 belongs to Kalarivathikkal Devaswom and in the settlement register it is recorded as such. So the property which is known as Arattuvayal is part and parcel of the temple and the main ritual of Aratt is performed there. But encroachers have created some false documents and claimed right over the portion of the property and have encroached into the same, and at present are occupying the same and making some constructions therein.
