But the Grand Sastha Preethi which is being celebrated in Noorani must have originated from here.

The people who originally inhabited this Agraharam believe that they have migrated to this village from Thiruvannamali of Tamil Nadu.

It seems after their ancestors decided to settle in that place and when they were clearing the bushes in the western side of the village, The labourers who were from the nearby Harijan colony heard a sound akin to the ringing of bells as well as very aromatic perfume like scent.

Further digging was done very carefully and three cylindrical stones as well as a flat stone were recovered from there.

The astrologers who were summoned to find out what they are told that the Three cylindrical shapes were the idols of Dharma Sastha and his two consorts, Poorna and Pushkala and the flat stone was that of Bhagawathy (Some say Malikapurathamma).

The idols of Sastha and that of Poorna and Pushkala were installed in the Nurani agraharam and the the idol of Bhagawathi was installed in the harijan colony of Kaikuthu Paramba.

The people of the Agraharam built a temple for Sastha along with his consorts.

Later they came to know that there was a Namboodiri in that place before the agraharam was built and he was a great devotee of Aryankavu Sastha.

He used to visit the Aryankavu every year but when he became old and was not able to visit Aryankavu, the Lord appeared in his dream and ordered him to install his statutes in front of his house and worship them.

People of Nurani believe that these were the idols worshipped by that Namboodiri.

The people of the village believe that all this happened more than 200 years earlier.

At That time Ayyappan as a God was not popular among Brahmins of Kerala.

But Sastha with his consorts was very popular in Thirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu.

There are even today, large number of Sastha temples in that district.

It is in one such village called Kulathoor which is near Kallidai Kurichi town that the practice of Sastha Preethi originated.

This village had a group of Brahmins called Karanthayar Brahmins.

In due course they first settled in Ernakulam and later In Trichur.

Pondy Brahmins).

One of the members of this samooham was a family of Kambangudi.

It seems this family helped Swami Ayyappan by providing him food when he came to hunt for a tigress.

At That time it is believed that The Lord promised them that he would be with them wherever they go and would assist them.(Kambangudikku naan adimai-I am a slave to the Kambangudi family).

It was possibly that this family which started the Sastha Preethi as we know it now.

It is essentially confined to the Brahmin community.

A similar function carried out by the Non Brahmin community is called Ayyappan Vilakku.

After the worship and singing songs extolling Dharma Sastha, a wholesome food is provided to all the Brahmins.

It is not clear when Sastha Preethi started being celebrated in Kerala agraharams.

Possibly it started in a small way in the Pondi Agraharams in Ernakulam.
