Legend / Local stories
Lord Rama’s consort, Sita Devi, once came to take bath in Kusasthalai river nearby. Mahishasuran came and disturbed her peace. Getting scared, Sita Devi came running and sat on the left thigh of Lord Rama. Mahishasura had already done penance and obtained a boon from Lord Siva, according to which only women can end his life. Accordingly, Lord Rama placed four Dharbai grass in the four directions. They took the form of four Devis and ended the life of Mahishasura. Even today, those four Devis, Angala Parameswari, Ponniamman, Mulakkal Amman and Kekaithamman remain as the guarding deities (Kaval Deivam) of this village.
As in Bhadrachalam Rama Temple in Andhra Pradesh, the Lord here can be seen with Goddess Seetha seated on his lap. Lord is Archavadhara moorthy and in Pattabhisheka Thirukolam.
