[1] The temple is located on Manarcaud - Kidangoor state highway, near the banks of Meenachil river.

The legend has it that the idol of Subramanya came out of the Kamandalu (an oblong pot) of sage Gauna when the water flowed out.

The temple hosts its annual festival in the Malayalam month of Kumbham (i.e. February/March) which lasts 10 long days.

As in many temples in Kerala, the festivities start-off with the ceremonial flag hosting (Kodiyettu) on the Karthika day.

The Aarattu (holy bathing) is held at Chembilavu Ponkunnathu Mahadeva temple on the banks of Meenachil river.
