The presiding deity here is Sree Parvathy devi in the form of Kirathi. The speciality
of this temple is there is no deites in the sree kovil but a small area is kept
protected.
The deity is considered more powerful on tuesday, friday and sundays. Deity is made
up of Pancha Loha (mixture of 5 materials). Devi is is Lakshmi, Saraswati, Durga,
and Bhadrakali all in one form which forms as a Kirati. The deity is so small and
unnoticeable, hard to see on special days because deity is fully covered with thecchi
flowers. One can see wick lamps around the deity. The best time to see the deity
is early morning before She is covered.
Karthika day of Vrichikam is special here and celebrated in grand manner.
Poomoodal is the famous offering and Muttarukkal (coconut cracking) also important. This is the only
temple in Kerala which has un counted offering of Muttarukkal held.
