The Mangat
Bhattatiripad referred to above in course of time shifted his residence to Kudamaloor near
Kottayam. He had then donated all the landed properties lying east of Aranmula to the
Pharthasarathi temple. The Government and the
Travancore Devaswom Board now conduct the festival.
It is said that an idol of Lord Pharthasarathi has
installed at Bhattatiripad's Kudamaloor residence also and pujas offered by special
pujaris.
