History & significance

A west-facing Shiva temple at Chemmappilly, about three kilometres from the Thriprayar temple, once owned by a Namboothiri illam and now under the Cochin Devaswom Board. The annual Vavu bali offering to ancestors is performed here.

Sthala katha — the legend

The Thriprayar Thevar is said never to have passed Aneswaram silently on his village circuit, because this deity had once lent him paddy and coconut.
