Time was when
whatever quantity of milk available for sale in Ambalapuzha was purchased and the entire
Payasam was distributed free. But now only a limited quantity viz. 12 litters of milk, 9
kgs rice and 16 kgs; of sugars are used and this naivedyam is available only for sale in
limited quantities.
Kunchan Nambiar, the famous Malayalam poet-satirist and exponent of Ottam Thullal, was
associated with the Ambalapuzha temple since he was for several years a member of the
court of the ruler of Champakasseri. When the principality was annexed by Marthanda Varma
of Travancore in 1754 Nambiar too migrated to Trivandrum where he enjoyed the patronage of
that ruler and his Successor. He is said to have returned to- Champakasseri in 1765 and
died within a few years. |
