HistoryIn ancient times, people have worshipped Lord Mahadeva. The arrival of a Brahmin Scholar known as Thampuran from the Pazhore Padippura became responsible for the incarnation of Devi in this area. Devi was the Thampuran's deity of worship. Thampuran, who had come from the north, took up his residence at Nedunagappally,Ramapuram in the south of this region. Later, on his return to his native place, Thampuran took along with him the idol of Devi, his deity of worship. During his journey, because of the omnipotence of Mahadeva, the idol happened to fall into the pond in the Kannirasi. Despite laborious efforts, Thampuran could not regain the idol. With a heavy heart, Thampuran returned to his native place. After several years while members of the Naluveettil family were digging the pond, they found the idol of Devi in the pond. As Adi Parashakthi, the mother of mercy and the giver of vitality, Sri Karthyayani Devi resides here. By showering her blessings on her devotees who appeals to her with aching hearts, Devi reins the Vettikulangara Temple. Other DeitiesBeside the main deity there are many other deities which include Lord Mahadeva, Lord Ganesh, Lord Ayyappan, Nagaraja and Nagayakshi Festivals
