The Vilangara Sree Subramanya Swami Temple traces its origins back to the 12th century, making it one of the oldest Murugan temples in Kerala. According to local legends, the temple was established by a group of Tamil Brahmins who migrated to this region.
The temple's unique name "Vilangara" is believed to have derived from the Malayalam words "Vila" (bow) and "Angara" (body), referring to an ancient legend where Lord Muruga appeared before a devotee in a radiant form holding his divine bow.
