te Department of Archaeology. The temple, located in a 28-acre (113,000 m2) plot, is cut from a huge rock, and a climb of 69 steps leads to the temple. To reach the temple one has to travel a distance of about 2 km from Odakkali on the Aluva Munnar Road and 10 km from Perumbavoor. The temple is owned by the Kallil Pisharody family. The present Karanavar of the family turned over all the administrative control of the temple and all its belongings to 'Chenkottukonam Sree Ramadasashramam' but regained control due to some hassle between local people and Ashram authorities.
