This temple is in Pudussery, Palakkad. It is believed to be 1000 years old. The
temple is unique as Lord Siva and Goddess Parvathy are consecrated here in the
same sanctum, facing west. Hence, it is considered especially important for securing the blessing of good marriages and a happy married life. The temple once
belonged to the Vadakke Mannadiyar family. Now it is managed by a committee of
devotees. Lord Vishnu is also consecrated with equal importance. Ganapathy and
Subrahmanyan are consecrated as subordinate deities. Serpents are also
consecrated. A new sanctum for Ayyappa with Poorna and Pushkala has also been
constructed recently after
more
astrological consultations. Pradosham is observed
with all rituals and attracts a lot of devotees. It is believed that at one time
the temple was surrounded by water. Now there is a river and a temple pond.
Devotees offer obsequies to the deceased ancestors at this Chira on the no moon day
in the month of Karkidakam. Maha Sivarathri and Thiruvathira are also
celebrated with festivities.
