Nilakkal Mahadeva Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and it is one of the important "idathavalam" or halting place for the Sabarimala pilgrims. During Sabarimala pilgrimage, lots of devotees visit the temple.
Lord Shiva is the presiding deity and it's believed to be in two moods, Ugramoorthy (fierce) and Mangala pradayakan (auspicious). A common belief is that Lord Shiva is showering his blessings to his son Lord Ayyappa to fight against all evil spirits while throwing all anger to the evils.
