THE FIERCE LORD OF ETTUMANUR |

| As he said
this, someone from inside the temple came running took the heavy lamp inside and fixed it
in the present location. Soon there was thunder and lightning. Some closed their eyes
unable to see the lightning, while a few fled for safety. After the thunder and lightning
stopped, everybody was surprised to see the beautiful lamp burning brightly with five
wicks and full of oil. Resemblance to Vaikom Temple Now let us go inside the temple. It bears a close resemblance to the Vaikom Siva temple though smaller in size. Its central shrine like the one at Vaikom is circular in shape surmounted by a conical roof covered with copper plates with a stupi of copper gilt at the top. In front of the garbhagriha is a raised platform, the Mukhamantapa square in form, where there are two images of Nandi one finished in stone and the other made on an of copper and tin.
