ANNADANA PRABHU OF VAIKOM

HISTROCITY

The temple when built during parasurama's time was under the Management of 108 Nambudri Illoms. The priests called Tantris looked after to both spiritual and secular growth and carried on the activity of the day to day administration with devotion due. The Tantriship changed hands from Menattu tantries to Mekattu Tantris after the fire accident in this temple.

The Menattu tantries dedication is boundless, and but for their devotion the linga would not have been here in this shape as it is today. The temple received royal patronage from the rulers of Travancore and Cochin regularly. Though the murals, wooden panels and certain decorative pieces changed patterns several times due to renovations from time to time, its glory did not diminish. As in the case of all temples, it is now under the Devaswom Management controlled by the State Government of Kerala.
