The central icon is a four-armed standing Vishnu carrying the conch Panchajanya (Turbinella pyrum), the discus Sudarshana Chakra, the mace Kaumodaki and a butter with a holy basil garland.

The temple was constructed by the Ay Kingdom (Kupaka), who were ruling the place with their capital at Keezhperoor, during the only recorded Sangam period.

In 12th century CE, 343 ME the temple administration was handed over to uralar sabha a council consisting of Brahmins and Madambi Nairs in the ratio 8:2 by Sri Vira Udayamarttandavarman Tiruvadi, Ilayaguru of Venad.

In 1965, as per the court order, Brahmasree Narayana Narayanaru handed over the administration of the Temple to No.3200 Ambikavilasama Nair Service Society Karayogam of Keezhperoor.

After Independence, when the leasing-subtenants became owners, it adversely affected the temple administration and the priest also stopped worship to deity.

The granite sopanam leading to the inner areas connecting the sanctum rise from ground level to the front door in six steps.

The balustrade on the opposite side offers the four-armed Vishnu holding the discus, conch, mace, and the lotus.
