The whole structure of Niramkaithakotta is a temple complex. At the foot of the hill which streatches 50 Acres and the peak has a 500 feet hight from the sea level.There is a huge construction with copper sheets covering the roof known as 'Pattukottil'. Here is the encarved structure of 'Balakanda' of Ramayana in wood. In the next there lies one of the importnat Ayyappa temple aged 1500 years approximately.The Ayyappa image is believed to be 'Swayambhoo '.

  It is believed that Vilwamangalam Swami had started the practice of worshipping Lord Sri Rama during every mid noon and there are somany monkeys(soldiers of Srirama). The water, in the well which provide holly water to the temple, is believed to be the water from Ganges. A few many feets higher than this temple the famous Mekkotta Bagavathi temple situates on the top of the hill. This hill was the fortress and capital of the Parappanad Kingdom. The Machil Bhagavathi of this Kingdom later became the image for worshipping in this temple. One of the Kings of Parappanad Kingdom named Kerala Varma after completing his education left palace for worshipping a ‘Rudra Moorthy’( a horrible and powerfull image of the gods and goddess). He   worshipped Mookambika. The goddess appeared before him and advised to go south. Where he met the Rudra(Ghora) moorthy image of Kali and after pleasing her he requested to go with him as ‘Machil Bagavathy’ of his Kingdom. After Kerala Varma returned, Kali appeared before him in the same rudra image in the ‘Machintakam’(a special room provided for god of a family-Kuladevatha).

  It is also believed that when the Bagavathy reached at the Thalappoli thara (the earlier place for Kalari gods) her sister goddess on saying that she became out casted, accepted it for her permanent stay. The Mekkotta Bagavathy once in every year visits her sister at thalappoli thara. This practice is the festival of Thalappoli in which the women who bears Arithalam rushes to mekkotta temple and shower the thalam there after completing the three rounds around the temple.

  When there was a conflict between the Kingdom of Parappanad, Kurumbanad and Beypore, East India Company intervened and given the temple to Samoothiri Raja .
