Ancient Village[]

Iranikulam village is an ancient village and one of the 64 Brahmin villages in Kerala. Iranikulam is famous for its culture. When the governance of the Cheran administration was weakened, the temple administration was numbered. But when the internal squabbles broke out between them, the non-rulers were turned into two groups and made another deity of Lord Shiva in separate Sanctum sanctorum.

Recently discovered 500 years old art house collection from 'Chembari Madom', an old wooden box, known as 'North Pushpakam' is a residence of traditional Brahmin. They are considered to be devotees of Shri Lord Parvati's companionship. This manuscript was placed in Malayala era 639 month of Mithun (Ie, 1464 CE).^[5]
