Korattymuthy's Shrine is famous for its annual feast with 'Poovankula' (a special plantain), Muttilizhayal (walking on knee) offerings.

[1] St. Mary’s Syro-Malabar Catholic Forane Church, Koratty,[1] in the Archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly, is the most revered Marian Pilgrim Centre in India after Velankanni.

The ill and the infirm and the distressed, damsels who yearn for partners in life, and parents who long for a child, will flock to this shrine to seek solace.

Koratty Kaimal and Kodassery Kartha were the two major feudal lords of the Kochi royal family, and they fought each other.

The position, eminence, humbleness and truthfulness of Christians in business, agriculture and military service were the reasons they were regarded trustworthy by Hindu rulers.

His leadership and military strategies led the Kaimal's party close to victory, but then he was killed in action by Kartha's army.

But the Thampuratty (the queen), the ruler of the Koratty Swaroopam, bravely led Kaimal's army and won the battle, as she was so shook by the death of Kochu Vareeth.

As Ambazhakad parish was under the administrative area of Kodassery, due to his interference, the vicar did not give his permission to bury the body there.

In reverence to the chief commander, a cross in granite, of around 20 feet high and 12 inches width, was posted there.

The Thampuratty constructed a church near the burial place of her chief commander, for the spiritual needs of the Christians living in that region.

Medicines could not cure the pain and the landlord realized that it had been some divine intervention; he immediately gave away a golden statue of banana as an offering to the Koratty Muthy.

The hindrances grew to such an extent that the plan for an airport was abandoned and instead the Madura Coats Factory was built, which employs over 1000 employees today.

St. Mary's Forane Church at Koratty, in the Archeparchy of Ernakulam-Angamaly, is the most revered Marian pilgrim centre in India after Velankanni (Vailankanni).
