ARANMULA PARTHASARATHI |
|
|
Origin
of Boat-race
He requested the Brahmin to come again for ceremony next Chingom. But the latter replied
that could be seen at Aranmula temple. He was none other than Hari who revealed Himself to
the Brahmin in a dream.
The next year, Bhattatiri left for Aranmula with 51 paras of rice and all the other
materials for the feast and reached the temple in the early hours of Thiruvonam day. He
also incurred all the expenses for pujas for the day in the temple. The thoni or boat
carrying all these goods to Aranmula is called Thiruvonachilavu thoni. The tradition
continues to this day. |
