The founding and prosperity of Kozhikode town is closely linked with the sanctity of this ancient temple. The Jyothirlingam in the sanctum - Sanctorum of the Temple was installed towards the end of Dwaparayuga by Sri. Parasurama, who was responsible for the creation of Kerala, by retrieving the land from the sea by throwing his powerful axe from the top of Sahyadri, The posture in the sanctum - sanctorum is that of Umamaheswara. Though this divine power existed from time immemorial, attention of the citizens of Kozhikode was (bestowed on the temple) only by about 1500 years ago.
