Description:
The presiding deity of
this temple is Lord Ayyappa. In this temple Lord
Ayyappa resides with wife and son and the idol
faces to east side. There are 3 poojas and 'Seeveli'
in this temple everyday. The sub deities are
Lord Vinayaka, Lord Siva, Bhagavathy and Ovil
Ittyasan.
There
is a story behind the installation of idol in this
temple. When the enemity between the brahmins increased,
they throw away the idol of 'Chiravallur Sastha'
to a small forest near the 'Uttupura'(feeding house)
of 'Choondal Bhattathiri'. Time passed. When the servant
cut that stone with her knife, blood came from it. Thus
Bhattathiri realized that the stone has some power
and build a temple there. After that when the king of
'Manakkulam' killed 'Bhattathiri' for his wealth,
the temple was handed over to 'Chirattaman Moose' family.
The
'komaram' or 'Velichappad' of this temple will never
use 'Chilambu' or 'Aramani'. Instead of that they use
'Pattu' and 'Churika'. |
