Ancient Namboodiri household (Illam) now built on modern lines. This house is known as Eringadappally, the 'Moolakudumbam' or the main ancestral house sanctified as the residence of the great Brahmin appointed by Parasurama for poojas in Mannarasala temple. Legends say that when Kerala became habitable, a large number of Brahmins came as followers of Parasurama. He proposed his chief disciple to be in charge of worship to the serpent god and instructed him to follow various Pooja patterns to maintain the sanctity of the place.

The residents of the Mannarasala Illam are the descendents of that great Saint appointed by Parasurama.
