The presiding deity is known as Manikandan. As per the Kerala style, shrines of Ganesha, Bhagavati, Siva, Guruvayurappan and Muruga are found. The shrine of Navagraha is also found here.[1] The devotees are extremely proud of the status of the temple as the Second Sabarimala. The poojas and other religious rituals are observed similar to the fashion in Sabarimala.[2] Plans for the construction of a temple devoted to Lord Ayyappan started way back in 1942 with the coming together of a group of devotees. On 24 March 1969 Kumbhabhishekam was held and in 1972 a Dhwaja Stambha was set up and later was covered with gold. It is the only one of its kind in Tamil Nadu.[3]
