Description:
The
presiding deity in this temple is not Lord Ayyappa
now. Goddess Durga is the main deity here. But its
believed that , Lord Ayyappa had more importance
than now, in ancient times. This is a very old temple.
This
temple was owned by four brahmin families. When 'Sakthan
Thamburan' was the ruler ,then that four families
got destroyed. After that this temple was handed
over to ten families(Mana). They were 'Porukudinjathu
Mana', 'Melmundayur Mana', 'Keezhmundayur Mana',
'Madathil Mundayur Mana', 'Aattur Mundayur Mana',
'Pazhedathu Mana', 'Kaupra Mana', 'Kappiyur Mana',
'Karakkattu Mana', and 'Avanavu Mana'. In a war ,when
Goddess Durga became tired, then Aadhiparasakthi
chanted some 'Manthras' and then Lord Ayyappa came
for help and became more powerful . Its the belief
about this temple. |
