The temple is dedicated to Lord Narasimha, the fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It is believed to house the only Swayambhu (self-manifested) idol of Narasimha in Kerala. According to legend, the idol was discovered in the forest by a vanavedan (a tribal hunter).
Devotees believe Lord Narasimha protects them from harm, and many testimonies speak of divine interventions. It is regarded as one of the oldest temples in Kerala devoted to Lord Narasimha.
