 As per the advice of Ayyappa (who came in his dream), he built a temple in his courtyard, installed the above idols seated on the elephant, worshipped them and got solace.After the death of this Namboodhiripad, when war broke out, his family abandoned their residence and fled the place for fear of an attack.In course of time the place was covered by hillock and bamboo bushes and the temple got buried under it.
