It is believed that there in Arthunkal, a number of Christians lived as per traditional style and they were not baptized as there was no church or priest. These people belonged to the Chaldean order (Marthoma sect). In 1579 AD they got permission from the Moothedathu land lords to build church and a thatched hut was built with only a cross inside.
