Sekharipuram is arguably the oldest of all the eighteen villages in palakkad town. History indicates that several hundred years ago a large number of Tamil Brahmins from Thanjavur, Trichy & Kumbakonam migrated via Madurai & Pollachi and settled in Palakkad and established the 108 agraharams of the district, out of which 18 are in the Palakkad town. Each of these villages has a temple as the nucleus and several streets comprising of row houses with common walls for adjacent houses.{{Cite web |title=History |url=https://skpyens.wixsite.com/sekharipuram/about-us |access-date=2025-01-29 |website=sekharipuram |language=en}}

One of them is the agraharam of Sekharipuram, which lies adjacent to another famous Tamil agraharam, Kalpathy.

Sekharipuram consists of five large streets with five temples. The main temple is that of the presiding deity Lord Lakshminarayana with Bhoomi Devi and Lakshmi Devi. Other temples are those of Lord Mahaganapathy, Lord Hariharaputhra, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Emoor Bhagavathi.
