The temple's legend traces back to the era of King Mandhata, who brought the idol of Goddess Durga from the north and established it on the hill. It is believed that the deity resides here in a fierce form, offering protection and blessings to devotees. The sanctum does not house an idol, but a symbolic presence of the goddess is worshipped through rituals and offerings.

Architecturally, the temple follows traditional Kerala style with intricately carved wooden structures, copper-plated roofs, and a peaceful courtyard that resonates with spiritual energy. The temple complex includes shrines for Lord Ganesha, Sastha, and other deities, making it a complete spiritual destination.

A variety of daily rituals and poojas are performed with great devotion. Special offerings such as "Muttarukkal" (breaking of coconut for removing obstacles) and "Chuttuvilakku" (lighting of oil lamps around the sanctum) are popular among devotees seeking blessings.

The temple is not only a place of worship but also a cultural center where age-old values, customs, and devotion to the Goddess are passed down through generations, maintaining its importance in the lives of the local community.
