One community member, Varathoor Kaniyil Kunhi Kannan, heard many stories regarding the spiritual activities of Guru Devan[4] and decided to meet with him.

Guru Devan asked him why such a temple was required, pointing out that a lot of community members were highly educated, socially prominent, and active in Arya Samaj and Vedanta Societies.

The matter of temple building was discussed again, and before Guru Devan left a committee was formed with Cheruvari Karunakaran Tahasildar as president and Chamakkali Kannan as secretary.

Despite financial problems, the temple was constructed and consecrated by Sree Narayana Guru Devan at a muhoortham between 3 AM and 3:20 AM on 11 April 1916, during the ascendancy of Pooyam (Pushya) star.

The temple's main annual festival celebration of Arattu spans eight days and is held in the Malayalam month Meenam, starting from Pooyam Nakshatram.
