The presiding deity of this temple is Lord Ayyappa. This temple is also known as
'Memballikkavu'. There is a belief about the formation of this temple. Once Lord
Ayyappa was in the mission of removing the robbers in that area. On the way , Ayyappa
took rest on a rock. At that time one of the 'Yatheendran' saw it and realized that
the rock had got a power. He suddenly called a 'Brahmin' boy near the place and
made a 'pooja' there. That Brahmin boy went home and told everything to the family
members.Thus they made the temple there. This family is known as 'Idayaranmula'
Mana.
The 'kodiyettu' of the festival is on the day 'Uthram' of the month 'Meenam' and
celabrain will end after ten days along with 'Arattu'. 'Velakali' and lighting 'Pallivilakku'
are something special here.
'Elluthiri' is the main offering in this temple.
