The temple is adorned with lights and diyas and the festivities at this time of the year, are in full bloom.
Several myths and stories are attached to this temple which is believed to be at least 500 years old. As per the most prominent story, the presiding idol of ‘Mullakkal Devi’ was brought here by
a group of some exiled soldiers from Thekkumkur. Originally the idol was placed in the jasmine garden and later King Devanarayana built this shrine.
Another story suggests that during the conquest of Tipu Sultan, a group of Brahmins got the statue of Mata Annapurneshwari from the Malabar area and placed it amidst the pool of jasmines. They later built a temple for the idol. Till 1961, the idol that adorned the shrine was of Mata Annapurneshwari; however, a mentally unstable devotee once embraced the statue so hard
that it had to be redone. Therefore, in 1962, a brand new idol of Mata Rajeshwari was placed in the sanctum and has been there ever since.
