The Taliparamba temple also was subject to attack by Tipu Sultan. One finds relics of the old gigantic gopuram at the entrance, which was demolished by Tipu's army. The story goes that when the temple was under siege, the head priest was inside the sanctum sanctorum and prayed ceaselessly day and night. It is further said that a black snake bit the commander of the army and a hooded serpent appeared before every soldier thus immobilizing the army and saving the temple from total destruction. But Tipu's invasion caused many old Nambudiri families to flee for safety and settle in the erstwhile Travancore State.

Taliparamba originated as the Perinchalloor Brahmin settlement. The name Thaliparamba is derived from "Thali" (plate) and "Parambu" (area), and derived from the legend of Rajarajeshwara Temple. The Ikshvaku King Maandhatha offered great penance to Shiva who gifted him with a Shiva Linga and instructed him to place it at a site where there had never been a cremation ground. He found a space the size of a plate in Perinchelloor, and hence the name Taliparamba became attached to the area. Of the 2,000 Brahman families who settled here, only 45 remain today. Many were forced to flee after the onslaught of the Islamist army of Tipu Sultan in the last 18th century.
