  Temple History:
     
  Ezhuvarai Mukki village is a place alluring beauty of nature with all resources.  Seven maidens came together here for a bath in the river.  The climate was so pleasant with soft rain pour in intervals, moving clouds, soft breeze etc.  The Kannikas-maidens enjoyed the bathing and were reluctant to come back to the banks.  They forgot the passing of time.  A young shepherd passed through the place and took off all their dresses and began to leave the place.  Despite their begging requests, the fellow disappeared with their dresses.
The maidens could not come to the bank.  They simply drowned themselves and through the water they reached a jungle region and appeared as Goddesses.  The parents began to search for the girls – maidens.  The seven maidens – Saptha Kannikas granted darshan to the village Pujari and told them that they would make the place prosperous if people worship them.  As seven maidens – Ezhuvarai and drowned – Mukki – here, the place is named Ezhuvari Mukki.
