Legend
According to the legends, it is believed that the temple of
Sri Varaha Moorthy was built by Sage Parashurama nearly 4000 years ago and it
is considered as the prime temple of Kerala. According to the
legends,Parashurama donated all that he had won to Kashyap after his victory
over the Kshatriyas. He then created a piece of land to carry out his
meditation, which was Kerala. Seeing Paeasurama's devotion, Lord Maha Vishnu
appeared and asked him to worship Lord Vishnu in Varaha incarnation. It is
believed that Parasurama installed Sri Varaha Moorthy Temple following this.
Culture
The Palakkad district where the temple is situated, has
mainly paddy cultivation as the main occupation of the people. The district is
called the 'Rice Bowl' of Kerala. The social and cultural customs of the people
are, therefore, one way or other, connected with paddy cultivation. They
believe that the Goddesses of 'Kavu' (temple) protect them in their 'Thattakam'
(meaning the area where they live, surrounds the 'Kavu'). The people make
offerings to the Goddesses in their 'Thattakam' in the form agricultural
produces having bearing on the seasonal agriculture.
