Puranam

As legend tells, sage Koonamuthappan believed that for the well being of humanity, they needed the presence and blessings of a powerful and easy-to-please deity. Thus, he undertook a severe penance to please the deity of his family. The Goddess soon appeared before him. Koonamuthappan requested the Goddess to give him the Mantram that would enable him to please and possess Chathan Swamy, the son of Shree Parameswara.

Pleased at her devotee's penance, the Goddess told him the Moola Mantram to make Chathan appear before him and the Dhyana Mantram to worship him every day. He then went to the Himalayas and following the advice of the Naga Sages and entered into a severe penance. Vishnumaya Kuttichathan Swami soon appeared before him, and he returned to Peringottukara with the deity. After reaching Peringottukara, he consecrated and installed Vishnumaya Chathan Swamy at the place where the Kanadi Family now exists.
