Temples devoted solely to Mahalakshmi are uncommon, as tradition holds that the Goddess does not remain in one place for long. However, this temple stands as a powerful exception, revered for its unique origin and spiritual significance. The deity here is believed to be a self-originated effulgence that manifested at Karipperi Mana in Pulanikkaatu, making the site especially divine.
The temple’s first consecration took place in 1975, followed by re-consecration in 1996. In 2019, a beautifully crafted idol of Goddess Mahalakshmi with four hands was installed in a newly constructed temple structure, enhancing its spiritual presence and architectural charm. The temple also houses sub-deities including Sree Ganapathy, Sree Sastha, Nagadevas, and Dampathirakshas, offering devotees a complete spiritual experience.
Another notable feature of this temple is its adherence to the sacred Sree Vidya Thanthram, a powerful and traditional tantric system established by Jagadguru Sree Shankaracharya. This makes the temple spiritually exceptional, drawing devotees seeking blessings for prosperity, harmony, and divine grace.
