Pambummekkattu Nambudiri from Cochin was passing through this place on his way to
Suchindram. On hearing about the incident, he visited the spot and recognised the stone as
Vasuki (Ananta) the Serpent King. He immediately conducted archanas and other offerings
and informed Kalakkat Rajah, who was then ruling over the area, about this. In the
meanwhile, a thatched shed was erected over the idol. The Rajah then arranged to construct the present temple and wanted to shift
the idol to it. But the Serpent King appeared in a dream both to the Rajah and to the
Nambudiri and conveyed his desire to remain where he was. |
