Kodungoor Devi Temple[2] is a famous temple located at Kodungoor, Kerala, India. The primary deity of this temple is Kodungooramma. Its antiquity was estimated above 200 years. The temple initially belonged to Madathil family and was later taken up by the Travancore Devaswom Board.[3]
In March 2023, the temple held a unique "festival of women" in which there was a parade of female elephants. This was a break with mostly patriarchal tradition of the past.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
