History of Anantheswara Vinayaka Temple Festival

The History tell us that, The Anantheshwara Temple is one of the oldest temples in Kerala. It was on the verge of total destruction when a need was felt to reconstruct it. It has been renovated from time to time and the presiding deity of this temple is Sri Udbha Va Lingam and Sri Bhadra Narasimha Swami. Sri Subramaniya Swami is also another deity here. A number of Schools and colleges are run by this temple and there is also a community hall for the pilgrims of the Anantheshwara Temple. The Shasti Festival is celebrated in the memory of Lord Murugan in the temporal world. Lord Murugan is said to have destroyed Tarakasura. He had been a vicious demon who went on with his game of destruction so a need was felt for a reliever. Lord Murugan was the one.
