The idol of this temple is Mirror and two legends support the formation. One is associated with a Brahmin related to Kallooppara Desam, who frequently visited the Sree Porkali Devi temple. When this bachelor Brahmin grew old he prayed to Goddess Porkali for his inability to visit the temple as usual. For this grievous and painful prayer, Devi gave a divine sight and told him to have his
more Darshan at the Manimalayar River bank where the temple shrine now stands. It is believed that the same Brahmin's presence also is there in this temple with the Devi. The second legend says that a Sanyasi Yogeswaran from Himalaya on his pilgrimage reached Kallooppara and felt that is the apt place to install the Sree Chakra he attained with his long Meditation. This Sree Chakra is installed beside Devi and it is believed that the presence of Lord Vishnu is there in this temple. Temple was believed to be owned by Thekkomkoor Raja Family.
