Around 800 years ago, the sprawling 2000-acre estate of the Sree Ponneth Kavu Devi Temple was under the ownership of the renowned "Thamarassery Mana." However, a series of "illegitimate" marriages within the family, facilitated through the "pudava" system, led to the gradual loss of the entire property to other families. Consequently, the members of the once-prosperous "Thamarassery Mana" found themselves bereft of their ancestral land and were compelled to migrate to Kodungallore and Cheranallur. The consequences of the perceived misuse of Brahmin property reverberated as a destructive force, causing family rifts, diseases, conflicts, and various other 'curses' upon these families. Years later, a devoted Namboothiri Brahmin from this more ancient lineage embarked on a journey to rediscover his family roots. The devotee of Kodungallore Amma, he carried holy books and an umbrella, unaware that the goddess herself had manifested within it. His primary intent in visiting the ancestral grounds was to perform remedial measures in the temple to atone for the transgressions of his forefathers. However, the individuals who now possessed the property paid no heed to his intentions, leading to his disappointment. Seeking redemption, he reached the ancient "DHARMA DEVATHA Kshethra thara," later known as 'AYYANKANDAZATH KSHETHRA' or KADAVANTHARA DEVI KSHETHRA, to perform Prayashitta Karma. With sincere prayers, he beseeched Amma to forgive the sins of his ancestors. During this pilgrimage, a divine intervention occurred. His belongings, placed at the old step of AYYANKANDAZATH KSHETHRA pond, including the cloth bundle and umbrella, mysteriously flowed towards the present location of the Ponneth temple. Witnessing a divine aura around his umbrella, the Brahmin priest encountered the goddess, who pardoned the sins and instructed him to stay in this place. In gratitude, he constructed a temple at the site, with its current north-facing orientation. The temple's history includes the occasional visits of the goddess to her former abode, now the 'Peedha' of Kadavanthara Devi Temple, during the festival, marked by the lighting of the first 'Thalam' from Kadavanthara Devi Temple. Over time, the temple faced challenges, including fire incidents and changes in ownership. Still, the Late Shri. Damodaran Unni took control in 1099, and the temple continues to thrive under the management of his descendants. Daily pujas, festivals, and other activities have been running seamlessly since 1124. The temple, spanning 95 cents of land, has witnessed various phases of management, passing through Kadavanthara N.S.S, the Cheruparambath family, and the Kshetra Samiti of natives. From 1166 onwards, the present Ponneth family, in collaboration with locals, has diligently undertaken the temple's welfare activities. A Brahmarakshas, representing the sacred Brahmin of Old Thamarasseri Mana, is honoured, and daily pujas are conducted. The temple fosters inclusivity, with people of all castes seeking the blessings of Brahmarakshas before any construction near the temple area. Notably, a unique occurrence in the temple pond, where multiple lotus flowers bloom from a single stem, has attracted visitors from far and wide, attesting to the divine presence of Goddess Lakshmi in the temple.
