This is one of the temples where Sage Vyakrapadhar has worshipped Shiva using Vilva leaves.

This temple is more than 1000 years old.

No rituals were celebrated here for a number of years as the kalasam was stolen but later it had been found in a lake near the village. Even now functions are not celebrated. Only daily poojas are being conducted in a very simple manner.

Shri Devi Bhudevi Kariyamanikka Perumal Sannidhi is found in the temple and this temple is thereby a Shiva Vishnu temple.
