THE FIERCE LORD OF ETTUMANUR |
|
| There is a
story behind this lamp. The present t we see is the one renovated in 1542 A.D. Soon after,
one evening, some temple servants were standing in front of the West tower and passing
their time chitchatting. At this juncture a bell-smith came and placed reverently a
beautiful lamp before them. With folded hands, he requested them to keep it for the temple
use and give him something for the night's gruel. At this one of the servants admired the
beauty and fine workmanship of the lamp, He thought it glittered like gold and wondered
who could pay for it. He added that if it were lighted it would be very auspicious for the
temple.
