legends, Ayya Vaikundar, an incarnation of god, as per the instruction in Vinchai by Narayana unified six female deities into himself in various forms such as Siva, Brahma, etc. Because of these events, this Pathi obtained religious importance next to Swamithope pathi. Before this Pathi there existed a Kali temple at the spot. It was changed by Ayya into a Pathi.
