Built in the typical Kerala architectural style, this temple is famous all over
India for the Palpayasam, the daily offering of deliciously sweet milk porridge.
It is also in this temple that Pallipana is performed by Velans (sorcerers)
once every twelve years.
Paintings of the Dasavatharam (the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu) are on display
on the inner walls of the Chuttambalam. Ottanthullal, a satiric art form originated
by the poet Kunchan Nambiar, was first performed on the premises of this temple.
