Description:
The presiding deity in
this temple is Lord Ayyappa.This
temple is situated in thhr west side of a pond
, very near to 'Marathompalli Mana'
. In this temple the deity is in the form of
a child , holding a pot which is made of gems.
The place 'Koodappuzha' was under the control
of this mana.
During
the 'Arattu' of 'Koodalmanikyam' temple , Lord Bharatha
used to visit the ladies in the mana. Because in
ancient times , girls more than twelve years were
not allowed to go to Koodalmanikyam temple.
The
subdeities in the Koodappuzha temple are Lord Siva,
Lord Vinayaka ,Bhagavathy ,Goddess Durga and 'Sreechakra'.
There
is a story about the formation of temple. Actually
the idol was created for installing it in the 'Arattupuzha'
temple. But on the way to there, the idol was brought
to 'Marathompalli' mana for showing it to 'Valia
Thirumeni'(Oldest person in this family). When the
idol was placed there, it had stucked and could
not take it from there.Thus the temple was created
and the idol was installed there.
