History:
According to the legends, one of the earlier priests of Sree Sabarimala Dharma Sastha temple belonged to Karott madam. When the priest became old, he could not trek the hill to reach the Sabarimala temple and perform the poojas. So he ardently prayed for the Lord’s blessings. The Lord blessed him in his dream saying that His presence will always be there at the courtyard of his illam. Next day when the priest came back, he saw an arrow secured firmly on the ground in upright position and vibrating. The priest thus felt the presence of the Lord and installed an idol at that point and started worshipping it. The present sanctum-sanctorum is at the same place of the courtyad. As the illam had a very large granary(ara) and a pond (kulam) the place got the name Arakkulam.
