The temple situated in the very centre of town on an eminence commanding a view of neighbouring areas all around.

The story of the origin of the Wadakkunathan Temple is briefly narrated in “Brahmanda Purana”. Parashurama exterminated Kshatriyas land. Parashurama then made the request to Varuna for their sake. Varuna gave him a winnow (surpa) and asked him to hurl it into the sea; as he did a large territory of land was at once thrown up by the sea; this territory that rose out of the sea was Kerala. It was then known by the name "Surparaka", from the word, "Surpa" meaning winnow.
