Famous
for Palpayasam
The Ambalapuzha shrine is famous for its Palpayasam, milk porridge of exceptional
sweetness. As Nalamkal put it, it s one of the wonders of Kerala. This is the most
important offering at the temple at the uccha (noon) puja. There is a legend behind the
introduction of Palpayasam as an offering.
Once the Champakasseri Thampuran had borrowed some paddy from a Brahmin belonging to
Thalavady. For some reason, the Thampuran could not repay the same for a long time. One
day when the ruler came to the temple for darshan the Brahmin accosted him and demanded
his paddy immediately. The Thampuran asked his Minister to clear off the debt and left the
place. |
