On the outcome of the devaprasnam efforts were made to construct a temple at Bagdogra (it is near Bagdogra airport and air force station to that of the Ayyappa temple in Kerala. Renowned Vasthu architect and astrologer Sri Kanippayyoor Krishnan Nampoothiri was the chief consultant and on his advice, by workers from Kerala brought here and started to construct the temple.
