Very ancie temple-The idol of Goddess Bhadrakali,at the rear of the present main shrine was first installed by Parashurama.As goddess was so fierce even birds could not fly in front of the idol.There fore Parashurama installed a shrine of goddess Durga of gentle nature in front of the SreeBhadrakaali shrine.After the 2nd Prathishta the fierceness of Bhadrakaali was reduced.
