Pandalam is perhaps second only to Sabarimala in sanctity and is closely associated with the birth and early child hood days of Lord Ayappa. Lord Ayyappa, the presiding deity of Sabarimala had his humon sojourn as the son of the Raja of Pandalam. It is believed that the raja constructed a temple close to his palace on the banks of the river Achenkoil modelled on the Sabarimala shrine which is the present Valiyakoyikkal temple. Pilgrims usually offer worship here before proceeding to Sabarimala. .Three days prior to Makaravilakku , the sacred ornaments of Lord Ayappa are taken in procession from Pandalam to Sabarimala
