This kshethra belonged to the seniormost lady member of the Sreevallabhavamsam. However, after the land legislation by the Kerala government it was not possible for the Thampuratty to manage the expenditure of the temple. Hence the management has been handed over to a committee of local people, which is managing the temple very well. The committee has a novel way of running the temple.The temple has some land on the side of the Kozhikode–Palghat road. The committee has leased the lands for building shops and is now collecting rent adequate to pay salaries for the employees. The temple has also other incomes like annuity and donations from wellwishers.


The temple, about 2000 years old according to prasna (the oracle), has a round Sreekovil. The centre of the ceiling had damaged and was leaking during the rainy season. A number of carpenters were consulted and all of them expressed their inability to repair the ceiling. They did not know the calculations required to cut pieces of wood and join them at the top of the conical construction.The president of the committee stated that they even consulted Kanipayyur Parameswaran Namboodri (nephew of Kanipayyur Sankaran Namboodri and cousin brother of the now famous Vasthu consultant of Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, Kanipayyur Krishnan Namboodiri). Finally they decided to put up a thin concrete layer on top of the ceiling to avoid leakages during rainy season.

The main Deities are Siva, Durga, Thirumandhamkunnil Bhagavathy & Ganesha.
