This present temple was built in 1760 A.D. when the capital of Travancore was shifted from Padmanabhapuram to Thiruvananthapuram.
Renovations were carried out during 1860 -80 A.D. The temple is located at Pazhavangadi in Thiruvananthapuram.
The original Idol was maintained by The Nair Brigade initially at Padmanabhapuram, and later when they were shifted to Thiruvananthapuram, they installed the Idol and the current temple came into being. After the integration of the Travancore army with the Indian Forces, the temple is being maintained by the Indian Army.
