She is said to have washed her sword in the temple pond behind the temple. The Devi of Aravukadu temple is said to be the sister of the Devi of Kannichakulangara and Kodungalloor. In ancient times, this temple was in the custody of Brahmins but during the invasion of Tipu Sultan, they left the place in fear, handing over the temple to a family residing nearby in Komarathussery.
