== Legend ==<br />
According to the legends, [[Pandavas]] came here during their twelve years of exile and Abhimanyu consecrated a [[Lingan|Shivalinga]] idol there. After a long time, a [[Pulaya]] woman who came to collect wood found a [[Lingam]]. [[Thekkumkur]] raja acknowledged by this construed a shrine for Lord [[Shiva]] there.<ref name =":0" /><br />
<br />
One day, the queen came to visit the temple. She was deeply amused by the shining 'Manikya' ([[Ruby]] gemstone) in the Linga idol. She made a request to the Ooranmas (temple administrators) to own the precious stone. But upon the denial, rani with her royal powers ordered the soldiers to took the stone. They killed the chief priest and took it from the [[Sreekovil]]. From there onwards, her dynasty was haunted by certain catastrophic and unfortunate events and even led to the destruction of the village. On [[Malayalam]] month Dhanu 23, {{CE|1068}}, the temple faced a conflagration. In {{CE|1109}}, the temple and its complete assets were given to a person named 'Thiruvarppu Madappuram Swamiyar'. At present, the temple have daily [[Puja (Hinduism)|poojas]] and annual festivities.<ref name=":0" /><br />
