Sree Rudra Dhanvanthari Temple which is about 3500 years old is situated in the centre of Pulamanthole. At the beginning only the idol of Siva was present. This temple belongs to the Ashtavaidya Pulamanthole Mooss family. Even then all Hindus were given freedom to worship in this ,temple from ancient times. Once the Travancore Maharaja suffered severe stomach pain. He was given treatment by various people but it was of no use, so messengers were sent to Pulamanthole Mana with Palaquin. When the royal messengers reached there, only a lady and a child were in the Illam. The Upanayanam ceremony had not yet been performed by the young boy. In those days only after Upanayanam knowledge of medicine would be granted. When the royal messengers gave the message the young boy was upset. He told his mother about the message. The mother told her son to tell the messengers that he could go only after 12 days Bhajana (prayers) in his family temple. So the young boy went to the family temple for Bhajana. On the 12th night Lord Siva came in the form of a Sanyasi (Monk) and gave him three tablets (pills). He also said that this medicine will cure the king. The king will offer many gifts but he should not accept instead he should ask the king to take the Idol of Dhanwanthari which is in the river Tamaraparni and install it on the left side of Siva and build a temple. Thus a Rudra Dhanwantari temple was built in Pulamanthole. People believe that all ailments can be cured if pray to the Lord and perform Vazhivadu (offerings) in this famous Sree Rudra Dhanwanthari Temple. Many patients even today visit the temple and pray to the Lord. The Ashtavaidya families are famous right from the beginning of Kerala. One of Ashtavaidya families is the famous Pulamanthole Mooss.
