THE HISTORIC TALI TEMPLE |
|
|
| It is
noteworthy that in the four centuries that Pattattanam flourished in Kerala hundreds of
Sanskrit works of merit made their appearance and the credit should go to the Zamorin. As
Shri K. V. Krishna Ayyar put it, if Guruvayur revealed the Zamorin's devotion, Tirunavayai
his power and pomp, Tali Pattattanam exhibited his love of learning and respect for
learned men. Though Tali originally meant a Siva
temple, there is a Krishna temple also here on the north-east side. Siva faces east and
Krishna west. Both are independent temples with separate srikoils, nalambalams and
flagstaffs. But the Siva shrine is very ancient and the Krishna temple appears to be a
later addition. |
