The temple is said to be more than 200 years old, but however no records or testimony exist to authenticate the antiquity of the temple. As per Grandma's tale, the presiding deity Ayyappa Swami was worshipped by a Brahmin family who fled during Tipu Sultan's invasion of Kerala, leaving their house and land for ever. This plot was later acquired by a member of Kottarappatt family. A temple was erected and new idol installed on same location on advise of astrologers as the site was blessed by Ayyappa Swami's divine presence.
The temple is kept open to all devotees who can worship the deity at anytime on any day as the gates are never locked. The temple lamps, utinsels and belongings kept open are never stolen. There was an instance of deity once stolen by a person was returned by same person who became mentally unstable.
