TempleAs in Sabarimala temple, Achankovil temple also have eighteen steps.[3] Ayyappa, the MahavaidyaLord Ayyappa / Aiyanar presides there in the form of grihastha (householder) and the idol faces east. It is believed to installed by Lord Parasurama himself. The pratishta of Lord Ayyappa here is quite unique from that of other Sastha shrines in Kerala. The idol is known as Rudraksha sila. He is depicted as a grihasthashrami (one who leads a married life) along with his two consorts Poorna and Pushkala.[4] The temple is famed for curing poisonous Snakebites and thus Ayyappa is often portraited as a Mahavaidya (great physician). The right palm of the idol always keeps Chandanam (Sandalwood) and Theertham (sacred water) which is thought to have medicinal properties. AccessThe temple is located near the banks of Achankovil river in the dense forest regions of eastern Kollam, about {{cvt|50|km|mi}} from Punalur, {{cvt|85|km|mi}} from Kollam and {{cvt|62|km|mi}} from Kulathupuzha via Aryankavu, Thenmala and Shenkottai.
