It is one of the few temples in the country where the Trinity, ‘Brahma, Vishnu and Ishvara’, are worshipped. The temple enshrines ‘Sri Sthanumalaya’, the Trinity of God (Siva, Vishnu and Brahma). The linga is in three parts. The top represents “Sthanu” name of Siva, the middle “Mal” name of Vishnu, and the base “Aya” name of Brahma. One of the legends of Suchindram is related to chastity of Anasuya, wife of Sage Atri. The legend says that the trimurtis appeared in front of Anasuya as begging brahmins. When she was about to serve they imposed a condition that they would eat only if she served them naked. Through the power of her chastity she converted the three Gods into babies and suckled them. On the plea of Godesses, Anasuya restored the dieties. On the same spot a linga sprouted which still exists.
Images of Vigneswari (a feminine form of Vinayaka), Goddess Aram Valartha Nayaki, Indra Vinayaka, Kala Bhairava and Saakahi Ganapathy are also enshrined. Inscriptions dating back to the 9th century are found in this temple.
The temple was previously controlled by the Namboodiris, one of the main Namboodiri families called the Thekkumon Madam.
The place got the name of ‘Suchindram’ from the Sthala Purana. According to Hindu mythological legend, king of Devas, Indra got relieved of a curse at the place of the main linga in the temple. The term “Suchi” in Suchindram is believed to have derived from the Sanskrit meaning that stands for “purify”. Lord Indra is, thus, supposed to visit the temple for performing “Ardhajama Pooja”, or worship, at midnight every day.
Thirumalai Nayak and the Travancore Maharajas, under whose administration the temple remained till Kanyakumari’s merger with Tamil Nadu, have made many endowments for its upkeep. It is interesting to note that during the reign of Ayilyam Thirunaall Maharajah of Travancore, a lottery scheme was introduced in 1875 A.D., to raise funds for rebuilding a portion of the temple and a sum of over Rs. 40,000 was realised.
