The deity of Balussery temple is Vettakkorumaka. There are several temples for Sasta and Ayyappa in the old Travancore and Cochin States and only a few for Vettakkorumakan. The opposite is the case in the Malabar area. Some of the wellknown temples dedicated to Vettakkorumakan are in North. Kerala. These are at Neeleswaram, Kottakal, Balussery etc. because of the fact that he was the family deity of the Rajas of Chirakkal and Neeleswaram and Kottakal. The most famous of these temples is at Balussery Fort, about 25 km. from Calicut. This was once the fort of the Rajas of Kurumbranad. The temple at Balussery is very small without even a flagstaff or altar. The important vazhivadu or offering here is the distribution of meals to those who come here from other places.
