This legendary temple is rich in historical
importance also. A family had to flee from Irinjalakuda during the battle
between the Zamorin of Kozhikode and the King of Kochi. They came to a place
called Kondddr near Eeraattupetta. The ruler of Poonjaar gave the family the
Sree Krishna temple at Kondoor to install and worship the goddess who was their
family deity. The members of this family used to travel the long distance to
worship the Goddess there. Once one of them named Kochan Pillai found the
journey to be too tiring for him in his old age and left the temple with tears
in
more
his eyes. He reached home and placed his umbrella near the well. But the umbrella
became fixed there. On astrological consultations, it was found that the
Goddess had come on the umbrella. So, a palace was built to install the Goddess
at that spot. Later it was shifted to a temple built near the Sree Krishna
temple. Sree Dharma Shastha from a Brahmin house at Illimattom was also
consecrated there.
