Legend About The Temple
Lord Siva appeared to Banasura after his hard tapas. Banasura asked Lord Siva to stand as a guard to his Kingdom. Then Lord Siva and Parvathi stood as guard to his Kotta. Chithralekha, daughter of Banasura is in affection with Anirudhan, the son of Lord Sreekrishna. One day Arirudhan reached the Banasura Kotta to meet Chithralekha. There started a big fight between Anrudhan and Lord Siva. Lord Siva thrown his axe against Anirudha from the banasura hills. The axe was believed to have fallen in Mazhuvannur.
