Located in the Kollam Distirct of Kerala, this is one of the main temples of Lord Ayyappa, consecrated by Lord Parasurama himself and the shrine being similar to that of Sabarimala. Here, Lord Ayyappa leads Grihastha Ashrama (family) life and is depicted along with his two wives, Purna and Pushkala. The temple is famous for curing poisonous snake bites. The left hand of the idol of Ayyappa always holds ‘Chandan’ (sandalwood paste) and Thirtha (holy water). They are considered to have medicinal properties to cure snake bites. This miracle is witnessed by many devotees since ages.
