This temple at Edakochi,
Ernakulam district is around 534 years old. The date of consecration has been
recorded on the stone in front of the sanctum. This stone was removed when
restoration work was carried out in 1984. This is a Bhadrakali temple
established by high-class Brahmins. (Aadya Brahmins) The area was under their
control at that time. When the members of this Brahmin family shifted to the
northern regions, the local people were entrusted with the temple. The temple
is surrounded by the lake on three sides and fields on the fourth side. Water
from the lake used to enter the temple during high tide.

Earlier worship with
Padayani used to be conducted here only during the Mandala period. Now poojas
are offered daily. After elaborate astrological consultations, the temple was
renovated and Ganapathy, Subrahmanyan, Bhuvaneswari and Brahmarakshas were
consecrated as subordinate deities. The temple was taken over by SNDP Branch
and the Kannagatt Devaswam is managing the temple now.
