Varathoor Kaniyil Kunhikannan of Thalassery was the first to visit Sri Narayana Guru and invite him to Thalassery to establish a shrine. Guru initially said that the Thiyyars of Malabar did not need a temple, as they had their own system of worship. He also asked Varathoor Kaniyil Kunhikannan, "If I come and consecrate an idol, won’t people say that some random man from the south came, placed a stone, and left?" Kunhikannan replied that it would not be the case and convinced Sri Narayana Guru to visit Thalassery for the temple. This became the Sri Jagannath Temple.<br />
