This temple is 1.8 km west of Punnakulam junction on the Kazhakkoottam–Karodu bypass road in Thiruvananthapuram district. It is popularly known as Thekkan Mannasrasala. The fierce three-eyed form of Durga is consecrated here, but devotees worship the gentle form of the Goddess. This place was once a Kavu with the presence of nagas. Around 40 years ago, the temple for Devi was built under the leadership of Appukuttan Nair, who managed the temple. Apart from the sanctum for the Goddess, separate places for Naga Devatha and Nagayakshy were built. A separate temple was built for Ganapathy. The idols were brought from Mayiladuthurai in Tamil
more Nadu. Sastha, Thamburan and Manthramoorthy were also consecrated as subordinate deities. Special offerings are made on all full moon days and on the day of Ayilyam. The annual festival is for seven days, starting on the day of star pooruruttathi in the month of Medam. Devotees who offer Kappu perform all the rituals. Lord Krishna is consecrated facing the west while Durga Devi faces the east. In 2010, the temple was shifted to a place pointed out by astrologers. Sree Krishna, Ganapathy, Nagas, Ayyappa, Yakshiyamma and Siva are also consecrated as subordinate deities.
