‘SRI VILAS BUNGALOW’ is over 130 years old, periodically restored andmaintained in the original style built by Veettil Gopala Menon whoserved as a subordinate judge during the British rule in India and honoured bythe British with the title of ‘ Rao Bahadur’ in 1893. Subsequent generations werealso honoured by the British in recognition of their contributions in theirrespective professions furthering Indo-British partnerships.The bungalow in front is over 150 years old and which wasa full fledged house inthe traditional style in the days of yore. Though not predominantly Kerala style,‘SRI VILAS’ has a Chettinad touch since the masons were brought in fromMadurai in Tamilnadu, the erstwhile Pandya kingdom.

KULA DEIVAM [(FAMILY DEITY ):

In 1970, the present temple was constructed for the Family deity. Tocommemorate the installation day , every year a temple festival is organized ,‘Kalasa Pooja’ in the Malayalam month of Kumbham[ Feb.-March] on Ashwatistar as per Malayalam calendar.In addition to this, Sarpa [serpent) and other deities are also housed inside thetemple, besides the Muniswaran temple [ the travellers’ protector] andViganeswara temple [ the deity to ward off obstacles] near the main temple.For the installation when the original ‘thada’ [ wooden arch ] of the deity wasreplaced, it was estimated that the ‘thada’ was nearly 400 years old which againreaffirms the ancient roots of ‘Srivilas tharavadu’. The ‘thada’ as percustom is burnt and its ashes immersed in the temple tank.The ‘ velichapadu’, the oracle visits the temple on festive occasions.
