Legend has it that Parasurama was installed Shiva Linga at the pond (Perumkulam) in Alathur. The temple was built by the King of Kollamkodu kingdom.[3]
Lord Parashurama installed the idol of Siva in the pool as a way to diminish the harshness of the great deity and bring him peace. In other temples, the deity is worshiped facing to a pond or other pool to reduce the temper of Lord Shiva. Whatever the case, the temple is located in the vast pond. One side of the temple pond may have been erected to reach the temple which was formerly the temple pond. One can see the temple standing in the pond (Perumkulam Malayalam: പെരുംകുളം).[4]
