At Elayavoor Sree Bharatha-Bhagavathi Temple, the presiding deity is Bharata in the form of Sangameshwara, facing east, while the main Upa Devatas are Bhagavathy and Sri Krishna (locally known as Trikottappan), with Sri Krishna facing west and receiving only one puja daily. Though Bhagavathy was once the primary focus of worship, the temple’s devotion gradually shifted to Bharata as Sangameshwara.
