Eravinallor is included in the panchadesam (Ancheri, Kadamuri, Eravinallor, Thrikothamangalm & Meenadom), hence the owner of the land ‘the lord Narasimha of kadamuri temple’ entitles as ‘panchadesadipathi’ which means the lord of five lands. The land was mainly occupied by different classes of Hindus and Christians, The few major ancient families were present in centuries back but now the scenario changed to increased number of families by increased population, the ancients families comprises the only one Brahmin family kolasseri mana (Kannakulangara sree krishna swamy temple owned by the same Kolassery Mana,they are one of the trusties of Sree Narasimha Temple-Kadamuri) and main seven Nair families of Vadasseril (A big family comprises several sub families, Rather than the three major temples a small devi temple attached to their Primeval Ancestral home 'Vadasseril'.
