The Sree Muthappan temple near National Highway No 17 in Nileshwar has a rich heritage.
It conveys the philosophical, devotional and educational importance of Nileshwar.
There is an interesting story regarding the construction of this Sree Muthappan Temple.
An elder member of the Koroth family regularly visited the place now known as the Muthappan temple and drank madhu (toddy), the liquor fermented from coconut sap.
He was a famous scholar and got the title Ezhuthachan for his commendable achievement as a teacher.
Before drinking madhu, he poured a few drops of madhu on the nearby jackfruit tree as an offering for the God Muthappan.
He regularly repeated the practice.
Several years after the death of the scholar, the natives experienced serious problems and called upon an astrologer for assistance in finding out the cause.
The astrologer concluded that as a result of the regular practice of giving madhu to God Muthappan, the God had started residing there.
After the death of the scholar, he no longer got madhu and, in a fit of pique, began creating disturbances.
The natives erected a Muthappan temple there.
The Koroth family then got the right of Koymma [patron] of the temple.

As a result of the formation of a committee and the work done by the members of the committee, the temple has developed as a famous centre of pilgrimage and hundreds of people visited it daily.
There is a strong belief that the God will cure all diseases and will bestow prosperity on His devotees.
The devotees get Payakutti from the temple, and it continues to develop as a great centre of pilgrimage like the Sree Muthappan temple at Parassinikadavu.
