A story states that once upon a time, one of the heads of the Nair family used to visit the Devi daily. One day, because of his old age, he decided that he would have to stop his temple visits. On the last day of his visit, he sought Devi’s blessings.

On his way back from the temple, he decided to rest. After taking a rest, he was ready to go back home. He lifted his umbrella, but it was stuck to the ground. A sage was passing by there at that time. After knowing the story, he understood everything. He explained that the old man, Devi, is now residing under his umbrella. After this incident, the Paramekavu Bhagavathy temple was built here.

Daru Shilpa or the Wooden Idol

The idol of Goddess Durga is seen in the Paramekavu Bhagavathy temple in the form of Goddess Bhagavathy. In 1997, the Goddess’s original idol was damaged and replaced by another wooden statue of Devi with eight arms in a seated position.
