Consecrated by the social reformer Sree Narayana Guru in 1908 at the invitation of Varathoor Kaniyil Kunhikannan of Thalassery, this shrine became a landmark of the movement to open temple worship to the Thiyya community. A statue of the Guru was added to the compound in 1927.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
