Official page of the Kalpathy Agraharams (Brahmin villages), the first heritage village of the Kerala State in Palakkad (a rare sight reminding one of a great cultural heritage). It is said that the deity was brought from the holy Ganges at Varanasi, and sage Bana had worshipped at this temple. A stone inscription near the temple proclaims that it was built in the Malayalam year 600 (1425 AD) by I

tti Kombi Achan, the then Raja of Palakkad. The three satellite temples in the villages are of New Kalpathy, Old Kalpathy and Chathapuram. The Tamil Brahmins who migrated to Palakkad from Thanjavur in the 14th century established 96 Agraharams in the district and 18 within the town. Though the rituals inside the temple and the mode of worship are strictly in accordance with the Tamil Brahmin cultures, practices outside like drum beating, decoration of the chariots, etc., are truly of Kerala style. The Car festival celibrated yearly is described as the ‘father of all car festivals in the State’ is one of the biggest festivals next only to the famous Puri Jagannath Swamy Temple car festival in Orissa.
