Description:
Although
this temple is known as an Ayyappa temple, the
main deity is 'Lakshmi Narayana Moorthi' with four
arms. Each arm holds 'Sanku', 'Chakra' , 'Ghadha'
and 'Pathmam' showing 'Ugra' form.
The
other subdeities are 'Parthsaradhi' , 'Hanuman'
and 'Vinayaka'. There is a story behind the installation
of the idol of Lord Ayyappa in the temple.
Many
years ago the
temple was under the ownership of Kosseri Mana
. They
were one of the richest families in the Namboothiri
village. At that time, the place was under the
control of 'Sakthan Thamburam'. But suddenly he
decided to go from Thrissur and handed over the
'Kolassery' temple and the property with
the temple to government.
When
the
'Karanavar' of the 'Kosseri' family knew about this
, he shifted the idol of Lord Ayyappa from 'Kolasseri'
temple and installed in the 'Kannamkulangara' temple
as a sub deity. In this temple Lord Ayyappa is facing
to east and Lord Vishnu to west.
One
more speciality is also there in the temple.There
are two 'Vinayaka' here. Its believed that one of
them came with Lord Ayyappa from 'Kolasserikavu'.
Also the presence of 'Vadakkumnathan' is also in
this temple.
