The temple is considered a protected monument by the Archaeology Department of Kerala.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zonkerala.com/tourism/Parasurama-Temple-Thiruvallam-17.html|title=Thiruvallam Parasurama Temple is the only one temple dedicated to Sri Parasurama|accessdate=22 January 2011}}</ref> It is famous for ''Balitharpanam'' (a tribute to ancestors). Legend has it that Lord Parasurama is the creator of Kerala and the temple dedicated to him is considered as a holy place for his devotees. During the ''[[karkidaka vavu]]'' day (a holiday in the [[Malayalam calendar|Malayalam month]] of ''karkidakam'') as part of the ''bali'' (a religious ritual), devotees pay homage to the departed souls of forefathers, after taking a dip in the holy water.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/25/stories/2006072518230300.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070523104708/http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/25/stories/2006072518230300.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=23 May 2007|title=Thousands offer bali on karkidaka vavu|date=25 July 2006|work=[[The Hindu]]|accessdate=22 January 2011}}</ref>
