The main deity is also considered as Lakshmi Narayana according to the temple legend.

Unfortunately, Pavizham died some days later, possibly due to a snake bite.

A nearby priest told him the reason for such an occurrence; Kannappan used to forcibly take young calves from their mothers and sacrificed them.

When the tribesman looked for the calf, he found the sacrifice alter shining in its place.

The priest explained that the calf represented the divine couple, Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi.
