This temple is unique in its
consecration and rituals. While Sree Rama is in the mild form in all other
temples, here he is in the fierce form. In a place surrounded by water Sree
Rama is consecrated as he was after killing Mareecha who had come to help
Ravana abduct Sita. He is considered as the ruler of the waters. The temple is believed to be centuries old.
Till a few decades ago it was a thatched small temple. It was renovated under
the leadership of the local devotees and the present structure was built. There
is also the consecration of Pathala Nagam which
more
is very rare in Kerala. The
traditional practice of visiting the temples of Sree Rama, Bharatha, Lakshmana
and Shathrugna on the same day in the month of Karkidakam starts from this
temple in Northern Kerala.
