RAJARAJESWARA OF TALIPARAMBA

The illustrious Zamorin took the sage to Calicut where he performed poojas in the palace. After this the Zamorins became miraculously prosperous.

Sreedhar Menon in his A Survey of Kerala History records that Raghava, the famous king of Kolathunad, who ruled early in the 14th century, was a patron of Raghavananda who wrote the Krishnapadi commentary on the Bhagavata Purana.

Rendezvous of Scholars

From time immemorial Taliparamba was a rendezvous of scholars and men of letters from all over the State.  They were received in a special mandapa called Kottumpuram (which is on the left side of the temple courtyard as you enter) and honored with gifts like shawls and bracelets.  Those who were thus honored could enter any assembly of scholars and were assured of a ceremonious welcome.
