According to mythology, a yogi was walking along the bank of a river when he happened upon a banyan tree. Recognizing its significance, he sought shelter beneath its branches. It was here that he witnessed a 'divine light' and decided to continue his meditation, accompanied by divine snakes. The branches where the Nagas, the divine snakes, coiled themselves, and the hollow in which they resided, later became known as 'Pambadiyal.' There is a legendary belief that a small pool within the four walls was used by the yogi. Another legend surrounds the origin of this sacred place. In ancient times, two goddesses who were sisters more descended to Earth. The elder sister traveled through the river, while the younger one journeyed through the mountains. They finally met after crossing the Valapattanam backwaters. The younger sister, exhausted and thirsty from her long journey, approached a well to drink water, but her elder sister warned her against it as the well was situated near a cemetery. Ignoring her sister's caution, the younger sister drank from the well and was subsequently abandoned by her elder sibling, with a promise to meet again every year. She eventually rested at the location where the yogi was laid to rest in Samadhi. To this day, a custom known as 'Putiya Bagavathi' involves fireballs being lit and sent eastward to meet the younger sister before returning. The area where the younger sister was deemed impure was gradually settled by the Muslim community, who built a mosque known as the 'Alalam Mosque.' This place is densely populated with banyan trees and snakes, and the tradition of 'Ney-Vilak' lighting still persists. The 'Alalam Mosque' continues the custom of preparing 'Chakkarakanji,' a dish made with rice, coconut, and jaggery given by Pambadiyal, on the last day of 'Theyyamthira.' The area, once possessed by Chirakkal Thamburan, was previously under the ownership of 'Kuvan Tharavad.' During that time, Maheswaran Kannan, the landlord, protected the kshetra by constructing walls and installing stone pillars with lamps that were lit every evening. This practice continues even today. Approximately a century ago, the responsibility for the Kshetra was handed over to 'Kayakath Valapil' Tharavad, in collaboration with Maheswaran and Kuvan tharavads. Later, the 'Thayyam thira' was organized by the 'Ulsava committee,' with local residents playing a central role. Descendants of Maheswaran Kannan continue to light lamps and perform daily poojas.
