The most popular legend attributes the temple’s establishment to the mythical sage Parasurama. As the story goes, while performing rituals on the banks of the Vembanad Lake, Parasurama witnessed a bright light emanating from the water’s center. Intrigued, he walked towards it, unknowingly disturbing a meditating tortoise (“Aama”in Malayalam). Feeling remorseful for interrupting the tortoise, Parasurama decided to build a temple dedicated to the divine mothers (Sapthamathrukkal) at that very spot. The place where the tortoise stopped (“Aamaninnayidam”) eventually evolved into the name “Ameda.”
