The plot of land where the temple is situated was once part of a forest, a tranquil area surrounded by a thick growth of trees, plants and creepers.

As this place was full of grass and pure water, the cow-herders from the neighbouring area would congregate there with their cattle.

The astrologer suggested that the stone contained supernatural powers and poojas should be started immediately after constructing a temple.

The milky liquid prepared from coconut kernel was boiled, the medicinal oil (Urukku Velichenna) extracted and solid substance taken (Kottan) was offered to the goddess as Naivedyam.

Wearing traditional dress ("Thattudukkal") and with towels firmly tied at the waist and on the head, they carry the Jeevatha on their shoulders and perform the step-dance.
