The Temple was constructed five centuries ago by one of the native kings called the 'Thekkumkoor Raja' who ruled from Thalikkotta, west of the present city. As the Temple was constructed on the basis of a divine dream shown to the King by the Lord Vadakkunnathan (link to Origin of the Temple) it bears many a resemblance to the Vadakkunnathan Temple, Thrissur.
Lord Siva, the presiding deity, is not a ferocious God, but too calm and gentle that devotees feel at ease to worship and pray. The spontaneously emerged Siva Linga is about six inches height and to the left of it stands a small idol of Goddess Parvathy as well.
