    Do you know, there is a legend behind this temple. The Raja was an ardent devotee of Lord Vadakkumnathan and used to visit Thrissur once every month. When he fell ill, his only worry was he would have to forsake going to Thrissur. Then one night the Lord appeared before him in his dream and told the Raja not to bother going to Thrissur and instead build a temple near his palace devoted to him.
