One finds relics of the old gigantic gopuram at the entrance, which was demolished by Tipu’s army. The Taliparamba temple also was subject to attack by Tipu Sultan. Even the distant Travancore kings paid obeisance to the deity by offering an elephant whenever a ruler is crowned or visited the temple. Even today, when the elder Zamorin dies, the information should be given to the temple authorities and the Lord is supposed to observe mourning. After years of intense worship he is said to have entered the sanctum sanctorum and merged with the Lord. One of the Zamorins was an ardent devotee of the Lord of Taliparamba. The Taliparamba region was ruled by Zamorins(Samoothiri) of Kozhikkod(Calicut) and they were devotees of Lord Rajarajeswara. They all considered Lord Rajarajeswara as their Chakaravarthy (Rajarajeswara or King of Kings). In the past, Kerala was divided into many small kingdoms and there were many kings/rulers. As a respect to Sree Rama no one is allowed into this namaskara mandapa and offer prayers, which is permitted in other temples for Brahmins. The Namaskara Mandapa (mukha mandapa) infront of the Sreekovil(sanctum sanctorum) is the place where Lord Sree Rama (on his way back to Ayodhya from Lanka after defeating Ravana) prostrated before Raja Rajeswara. An inscription on the structure of the temple tank (which is a little away from the temple on the north side) indicates that the temple and the tank were renovated in 1524 A.D. In front of the balikkal is a small rectangular building with a pyramidal roof, which is not usually found anywhere else. The balikkal has no roof but is embellished by a mysterious figure with a peculiar face. The temple has no kodi maram (flagstaff) as opposed to other temples in Kerala. In front of the sanctum is the namaskara mandapam. The quadrangular sanctum has a two tiered pyramidal roof. Non-Hindus are not permitted to enter Architecture

The quadrangular sanctum has a two-tiered pyramidal roof in front of the sanctum is the namaskara mandapam, but the temple has no kodi maram (flagstaff), unlike others in Kerala. This temple was rebuilt into its present form in the early eleventh century. Several centuries ago it was renovated by the Mushika (Kolathiri) dynasty kings.
