In the center is Shiva as fierce Aghora murti. This murti was consecrated by Khara Maharishi. This Shiva was so fierce that it was impossible to perform pujas or enter the shrine. To lessen the ferocity of the Aghora Shiva another Shiva shrine was built known as Thekkedam temple. Some strength of Aghora Shiva was transferred into the new Shiva temple.


The Vishnu in the temple is considered to be Mohini Avatar. It is believed that the temple was built in 1915 AD during the renovation of the temple. The Mohini murti was earlier worshipped in Thengmanmadam. It is said that the original Tantri of the shrine disagreed to install the Vishnu murti in the shrine. So the Tantri was replaced by Nelluvelil as Tantri. He installed the Mohini murti as four-armed Vishnu.


All the three temples in the shrine have Vatta Sreekovil or round sanctum sanctorum. All the deities face east. The Chittar River flows behind the temple.
