Description:
The
presiding deity in this temple is Lord ayyappa. In
this temple Lord Ayyappa resides in the meditative
form,facing to the east side. Here Lord Ayyappa
is not considered as a 'Brahmachari' .So there
is
no
objection
for
doing marriages
in this
temple.
Its
believed that -The 'Chiralayam Swaroopam' ,'Ayinikkal
Nair' and 'Kannisath Thirumeni family' - they had brought
the idol from 'Thrikkunnappuzhakkavu' , for the protection
of their place. There is another belief that the idol
was brought from 'Malamakkavu' ,situated in Palghat district.
Both the temples are known as 'Malamakkavu' temple.
But actually 'Malamakkavu' is in palghat district. So
we cant understand that which is original 'malamakkavu'.
Its also told that the name 'malamakkavu' is formed
from 'Malayilkkavu'. There are no subdeities in this
temple.
