However,the advent of mooshika kings and their interference, has virtually destroyed all the assets of the warriyam and also the Bhadrakali temple the Goddess of the people of the village. What now remains is only the Siva temple.
Despite the best effort of the ancestors of the warriyam,they could not renovate the temple and what ever was done were not in accordance with the thanthrik and manthrik requirements.Consequently day by day Sree Badrakali's wrath increased and the people of the village suffered untimely death,accidental death,infertility,quarrel and destruction of
families.
