Once a king (Some say the king was Samoothiri Raja who was ruling Malabar in the olden days) wanted to have darshan of his favourite Goddess and did severe Thapas. After worshipping for many years, the Bhagavathi, pleased with his devotion, decided to fulfill his wishes and asked the king to follow her by the sound of her anklets.
The Bhagavathi told him that the moment he utters a word she would freeze at the place and the king would get only a partial darshan of Goddess.He followed her for quite a long time and got the partial darshans of the Goddess in the different forms of sound, hands, above breast and legs. Not satisfied with these partial darshan he followed her further to get a full darshan.
After a long time he got poorna darshan of Bhagavathy at the slopes of Thenmala (part of Western Ghats) at Perungottukavu. After that the king attained moksham. Present Form: Here the Bhagavathi is in a sitting position with left leg folded and right leg kept on the peetam.
Till 2002 the idol was of stone and was 2 feet high. In 2002 puna: prathishta was done and the present Dharu silpam was placed. This idol is approximately 4 feet in height and the Goddess holds a Thrisoolam in right upper hand, sword in right lower hand, the severed head of the asura in left upper hand and plate in left lower hand. Inside the garbhagriha to the right side of the main deity is Ganapathy. Ganesha is visible only if the devotees view from the side. Then we can see the oil lamp inside and this is worshipped as Ganapathy. In the inner prakaram in the South West corner Ayyappa's prathishta is there. Nagas are positioned in the North-West corner.
