Very near to it there is a Mahavishnu Temple in Koormavathara form. This Garuda Temple is about 1800 years old.

To the Hindus, Garuda is the Lord without beginning and without end. He is born and eternal in the true sense God incarnation. He is adorned and worshiped as supreme Lord.
According to our epics and legends prevailing in the local area, this is the only temple of Garuda in his flying form in this country. The idols here have been shown their own special features.
