The temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga, revered here as a potent embodiment of divine strength and protection. Believed to have been under the patronage of the “Thampuran” (local ruler), the sanctuary follows Kerala temple architecture with a simple sanctum and traditional rituals. Devotees regularly perform abhishekam (ritual bathing), pushpanjali (flower offerings), and deepa aradhana (lamp worship). It operates as a significant spiritual hub in the community, drawing worshippers who seek solace, courage, and blessings from the Mother Goddess .
