A TEMPLE FOR RAMA AND LAKSHMANA |
|
| Once a priest
while trying to remove the coverings damaged the idol slightly. Thereafter it was decided
to fit it permanently. The cover is in two portions-one up to the waist and the
other above both so dexterously joined together as not to be visible as separate ones. It is said that there used to be a hole on the pedestal in front of the deity. The water filled here was served as tirtha. Once a piece of kadali plantain fell into this. The priest tried to remove this by piercing the hole with a sharp instrument. He heard a cracking sound of the stone and the tool fell from his hand. The tirtha also dried up subsequently.
