The temple here is one of the oldest and most famous of the 27 temples belonging to Darumaiyadeen.

Temple Theertham:
The Chidhamirtha Theertha inside the temple is special. It has a hall and stairs in all four purams and a fountain hall in the middle.
Here in the Krita Yuga, an incident took place where Lord Kamadenu carried the Thirumanjanam with his breast.
It is said to have multiplied as a holy tirtha and settled here. Due to this it got the name of Gokshara Theertha.
Sage Sadananda was doing penance here when he was chased by a snake and a frog jumped into the water and broke his penance.
The sage cursed that snakes and frogs should not bathe in the pond, so it is said that frogs do not live in this pond.
It is said that bathing in this Tiru Kurkulam cures all diseases.
Dissolving jaggery in Noyithira pond and mixing salt and pepper in a wooden box in Prakaram is a practice that is still practiced today.
