==History==
The village got its name from a root story about the Temple of Shree Bhagavathy. Hundreds of years ago there was a Sacred Brahmin’s house where the temple is situated now. At the "Nadumuttom" of the house, it is believed that there was the presence of ‘Goddess Vanadurga’ and this Goddess was worshipped by the Brahmin with full faith. At that time the Brahmin was titled with surname ''"Ola"'' by the rulers. Hence the location of the temple was renowned as ''"Ola Irikkum Kara"'' which is later renowned as ''Olarikara''.<ref>http://olarikkaradevaswom.com/temple.html</ref>
