History

Alagramam Jain temple was built in the 17th century. The Temple is in the center place of Alagramam Village. The Temple was built step by step in between 17th–18th century. Before constructing the temple in Alagramam Village people who were living in Alagramam used to go for Keezh Idayalam Jain Temple or Avani Avittam to wear Poonal. After some years, Alagramam Jain people decided to build a temple in Alagramam Village. On the day of Avani Avittam they took a small Lord Parshwanath idol from Keezh Idayalam Temple to Alagramam and built a small temple on the occasion of Avani Avittam to wear poonal. After some days the temple construction work started. The temple was built step by step. The first Tirthankarar Adinath is the moolavar of this temple. A separate temple is built for Sri Dharma Devi Amman (Kushmandi) and for Sri Bramha Devar. A separate panduga Silai Mandabam is constructed.
