This temple is at Kattakada, Balaramapuram, in
Thiruvananthapuram district. This is one of the few temples in Kerala with a
Kannadi idol. It is believed to be around 800 years old. In ancient times, it was the house of
brahmins and the Goddess was worshipped by them. Later, it came to be in the possession
of a family known as Moonnaam veedu. They were conducting poojas, but the temple had become
dilapidated. Some repairs were done. In 2005, an astrological consultation was
held, and the temple was renovated. At
that time, platforms were made for the subordinate deities Ganapathy, Sasthav,
Murugan, Sivamsham, and Naga. Later,
more
separate sancta were constructed for the
subordinate deities. After astrological
consultations in 2014, the main sanctum was reconstructed, and re-consecration
was performed in 2017. The reconsecration day is celebrated on the day of star
Pooyam in the month of Kumbham. Navarathri and the Mandala period are also
celebrated.
