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.
