The temple enshrines Goddess Bhadrakali, worshipped in her self originated (Swayambhu) form, alongside subsidiary deities such as Ganapathy, Sastha (Ayyappa), Nagayakshi, Nagadevas, Raktheswari, and Krishna. It is one of the rare shrines in Kerala featuring a consecrated Sree Chakra. Ritual duties are traditionally managed by the revered Aarazhi Parappurath Mana, and the local community of 18 surrounding areas share special rights in temple governance. Daily worship includes morning and evening poojas overseen by hereditary priests.
