History & tradition
Kerala Tourism’s dedicated temple directory identifies Shiva as the main deity and highlights the celebrated Ganesha sub-shrine. The temple is in Kottarakkara town and is known for its unniyappam offering. This listing preserves both dedications rather than treating its familiar Ganapathy name as the whole description.
