| LakshmiNarayana Swamy Temple |
Lord LakshmiNarayana Swamy is the presiding deity of the village. The temple is located
in the middle of the village in the retta gramam. The temple is unique in its construction because the rising sun's rays
on the mesha Sankramam Day, falls on the lotus feet of the Deity, true to this day.
The Deity here is installed on top of a well which is again unique,The"jala Pradhishta" might have been done realising the
difficulty in providing a sea bed to lord Narayana.The Deity is in a sitting posture with Mahalakshmi seated on the left lap.

Inside the prakaram of LakshminarayanaSwamy temple an Ayyapa swamy sannidhi was also built years ago. Legend says that centuries
ago when the village houses had thatched roofs, there were frequent fires and the villagers were put to lot of hardships.
They did not know what to do and decided to perform Sahasrannama japam for a mandalam period at BrahmaMuhoortham after
taking holy bath in the temple tank.
During
the course of the parayana, one of the villagers suddenly got inspired and said " to remedy this fire havoc, go to kurichimalai(2kms
away from pallipuram) and bring the idol of Ayyapa Swamy which will be visible on the foot steps of the hill and install the
idol on the Right side of Lakshminarayana Swamy inside the prakaram." The villagers immediately rushed to the spot and found
the idol and installed it.
