Madayi Sri Vadukunna Temple is a 2500 year old temple. In the years around 1766 AD, the temple was attacked by Sri Hyder Ali (Tipu Sultan's father), the Sultan of Mysore, and the temple was reduced to rubble. It was a heap, made of granite floor height, completely shattered, crumbling, and in the form of crumbling granite pillars and granite walls carved into graceful figures of the gods and goddesses. It was not until 1978 that it was destroyed
It is known from the Mysore Gazetteer that the temple names, including the Vadukunna temple, were among the 8000 South Indian temples that were destroyed in the invasion of Hyder Ali - in 1766, when the Sultan's trench was torn down in Pazhayangadi - in the affairs of the Kolathiri dynasty - during the reign of Hydra Li, who ruled over the fort. The "Mappila Bay" formed at the confluence with the sea with the Ezhipuzha
The Sultan torrent was cut to connect with the Ezhipuzha, and when read further, the presence of the Hydali Sultan on the Matai rock is revealed). Until 1978, the ruins of this temple lay orphaned. One day, Matai lived in Nayanmarmoola. Shri. PV Bhaskaran (Kanhangad BDO, finally retired, deceased - indebted to him and family. In this case) praying in his mind, he placed a lamp for the first time near the Swayambhu Shiva lingam at the place where the remains of this temple lie. Shri KP Chandrangdan, a resident of Pazhayangadi railway station, still remembers with gratitude, saying, "Shri PV Bharskar was the real culprit behind the renovation of Shri Vadukunna Shiva Temple." As of December Shri PV Bhaskaran, Shri PV Damodaran Vaidyar and Shri Narayanan RI went to Shri Edakattu Vijayan Nambiar, a very famous troublemaker, and invited him to put up the Vadukunna Kshetra gold issue. Hari Vijayan Nambiar spread the mat and started talking about the problem of gold issue of Vadukunna Temple.At that time, Shri PV Bhaskaran, Shri PV Damodaran Vaidyar, Shri RI Narayanan, Shri KP Chandrangdan and Shri P.K. P Krishnan Master and many locals were eagerly present.
Although there is no historical record of the age of the Sri Vadukunda temple, the temple is said to be about 2500 years old, according to Prasnahari. In addition, the troublemaker publicly revealed that "to the north of this temple grounds, there is a shrine, built of rock, which is innumerable years old, hidden under the ground, where many sages used to make eternal sacrificial lands before coming to this temple, and carefully discovered the cotton." Those who heard, sifted inch by inch, here and there on the north side of the temple floor. At first I did not see the result; The whole sacrificial field pictured in this video was covered with a layer of red soil one and a half feet high. When the cast was completely changed, to everyone's astonishment, the Yaga Kunda bastion, which had never been seen before, was seen by many sages performing daily sacrifices. Carved out of black rock, this shrine has more than a dozen, beautifully carved, everlasting sacrificial pots. In the long run, there are streams made of black rock to drain the excess water out of the altar. Properly covered, it will withstand a great deal of adverse conditions. Many sages may have sacrificed at the same time on this altar. As early as December 1978, the gold issue revealed that this shrine had existed long before the coming of Sri Vadukunna Temple. This eternal shrine near the Sri Vadukunna Temple has been studied by historians and a lot of facts will be revealed.
