The deity Vishnumaya Chathan is depicted as a young boy riding a buffalo and holding a short stick. He is revered as a god who provides prosperity and blessings and is known for creating illusions. According to mythology, Vishnumaya is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, born from Parvati's ethereal form. He got the name Vishnumaya because he assumed the form of Lord Vishnu using his own divine illusion (maya). It is believed that he incarnated to defeat the demon Bhrugasura. The deity Vishnumaya Chathan was worshipped by tantrics in Kerala.
