THE FIERCE LORD OF ETTUMANUR |
|
But the husband
thought otherwise. Going to Ettumanur from their place-Mavellikkara - would be tedious as
it involved changing two or three buses, leave alone the expenses. Why not conduct the
ceremony at the nearby Kandiyur temple, which is also a Siva shrine like Ettumanur? He
argued. And his wife relented.
After two or three days the child took seriously ill diphtheria. The doctor gave up all
hopes. The couple thought it was the wrath of Ettumanurappan, the Lord of Ettumanur. They
lighted a lamp in their puja room prayed for the cure of the child vowing that they would
visit Ettumanur and conduct the feeding ceremony besides depositing Rs. 101/- in the Hundi
as atonement. Lo! the child was cured and they fulfilled the vow.
