History:
There are no written scriptures, which could establish the exact date of the construction of the Thriprayar temple or any other incidence. A popularly believed legend throws light on how the temple was constructed and what is the story behind its construction. According to that legend, the idols of Lord Rama and that of his brothers Lakshman, Bharat and Shatrughna, were washed ashore and were found at Thriprayar, Tirumoozhikkalam, Koodalmanikyam and Payammel, respectively. The idols were found by a chieftain named Vakkel Kaimal.
After consulting from a number of astrologers, the chieftain decided to install at a place where peacocks were found and so was done. Later, the decendents of Vakkel Kaimal moved further south and settled at Niranam and Thalavady. They worshipped Thrikapaleswar, a form of Lord Siva for attaining the lotus feet of lord Krishna. One of the son who was known as Thachudaya kaimal decided to reside at reside at Irinjalakuda. He was the one who was entrusted as the caretaker of the deities. It is considered that if a person worships the four deities in one day, he attains salvation.

History:
Trikkur is located on the banks of the Manali River, about 10 km north-east of Thrichur. The Trikkur Mahadeva Temple is located about 200 m above sea level. In this temple, Shiva resides as Syambhoo. The majestically beautiful deity is more than six feet tall and more than two feet wide. The Sanctum Sanctorum is located inside a cave twelve feet long and eight feet wide. The cave opens to the north. In front of the sanctum sanctorum, there is a Mugha mandapa, entirely carved in the rock. Although the deity looks east during Darshan, the devotees can only see the right side of the Linga. (“Parshwa Darshan”.)
It is believed that the temple was created by the Lord Agni the Lord of Fire. It is also believed that Agni resides eternally with Lord Shiva. For this reason, the Ezhunnellath (the accompaniment of divinity outside the temple) is never done on rainy days or on days when the atmosphere is cloudy.
The goddess Parvathi also resides perpetually to Lord Shiva, personifying knowledge. Lord Ganapathi is carved on the wall of the cave towards the west side of the sanctuary. On the east side are two Dwarapalakas and in the Mugha Mandapa, there is a Saalagrama, which would have a huge Chaithanya Vaishnava.
The rock-laden soil and the Namasakara Mandapa, built from sixteen rock pillars, present a large number of beautiful sculptures. To the north of the temple is a hall where Saraswati Pooja and Chakyar Koothu are led during Navratri and Utsavas respectively.
It is also believed that this temple was first found by a person, belonging to a class considered untouchable in those days. He had been searching for his cow that had gone grazing when he chanced upon this cave. He found the cow in the cave along with the magnificent form of Lord Shiva. He immediately ran and reported this to his master, a Namboodiri.
The Namboodiri, seeing the magnificent form of the Lord manifested in the cave, performed poojas to him. A floor has been erected in front of the temple, in memory of the man who had first sighted this temple. In the Utsava times, it is on this floor, that Kurathiyattam is performed. Since it was here that the temple was sighted – the village was named Dhrukpuram. (Dhrushti – sight) . Over time, the word Dhrukpuram shortened to Trikkur, goes the myth.
