The Chitaral Rock shrine is situated five miles to the north of Kuzhithira, a village on the Trivandrum-Nagercoil Road, in south Travancore. The place was most sacred to the Jains. The temple at Chitaral which was originally a Jain shrine was later on, converted into a Hindu temple and an image of Goddess Shree Bhagavati was installed there. A number of old epigraphs in the Tirnevelly District go to show that Jainism was once prevalent in South Travancore and the adjoining Districts and that some of the well known Jain teachers and devotees hailed from Chitaral, a place which was then famous as Tirucharaneam and the seat of a thriving Jain Monastery. The Chitaral shrine has been ascribed to the 9th century A. D. On the face of the rock are sculptured images, Jainistic in origin and some of them are inscribed.
