Poojas

It is said that Poomala bhagavathi had come here via a ship. She liked the place and she wanted stay there. So with her powers, she pushed the sea outwards to reveal the land underneath and a temple was constructed there. So the place came to be known as "Ayiniki Kara" or Anikara. Some say that bones of fish had been found in the sand.
