This temple is at Nedumangad in Thiruvananthapuram. It is on a hill with other hills surrounding it. In this respect, it is similar to the Sabarimala temple. The self-originated rock formation that is worshipped is believed to be growing even now. On the premises is the consecration of Kochu Sasthav. It is believed that this was worshipped by a family that lived nearby and brought it to the temple as they could not take care of it. Later, they came to take it back, but it remained stuck. Astrological consultations showed more that Kochu Sastha wanted to remain near the Swayambhu Sastha. Durga Devi is consecrated in another sanctum. In the Kavu, Srepents are consecrated. The remains of a bigger temple made of granite that existed there before can be seen here. There is a lamp given to the temple by Umayamma Rani, which shows its antiquity. The temple shows the influence of Buddhist and Jain culture. On the eastern entrance, there are the remains of granite steps resembling the 18 steps at Sabarimala. On the western gate, there is a huge entrance structure made of a single granite piece. It is believed that a brahmin lady used to perform the puja here, and hence she is consecrated as Brahmarskshass. Devotees who cannot go to Sabarimala come here and follow the same rituals during the Mandala period. The temple has been partially renovated, keeping the antiquity intact.
