THE HISTORIC TALI TEMPLE |
|
There are five
poojas every day here and three sivelis of processions of the deity. Namajapam or
repeating of the Lord's names is also conducted daily in the evenings as also Bhagavata
saptaham annually. The annual utsavam begins on Vishu day (Kerala New Year's day) and
lasts for 7 days. On the 8th day the arattu or bathing ceremony is held.
Renovations
Manavikraman built the present temple the great. Like several other temples in Kerala the
Tali temple also, which Tipu Sultan subjected to spoliation and desecration, had been
renovated at the close of the 18th century. Following a devaprasnam conducted in 1964
renovation work was again taken up and completed in 1967 with a navikarana kalasam or
purificatory rites performed on an elaborate scale. Then came the installation of
flagstaffs for both the Siva and Krishna shrines on March 3, 1976. In the following year,
a Rigveda laksharchana was also conducted to commemorate the historic Revati Pattattanam
which, alas, now belongs to history. |
