References to this temple are found in Aithihyamala of Kottarathil Sankunni and many classics of Malayalam Literature. The place where the idol is worshiped in the temple resembles the addition of sand. Legend has it that the Shiva Linga was made by Mezhathol Agnihothri by using the sand from Bharathapuzha river. Anointing is not performed because it is a Shivling of sand.
