suddenly stopped in its course and would neither go back nor go forward. Baber
realized that that happened because he was indifferent to the Lord. He made amends
and thus became a devotee of Sri Rama. It was he who constructed the massive outer walls

pagoda was constructed under the supervision and patronage of T.H. Baber esq. in
1815."
The annual festival here begins on Vishu (Malayalam New Year's day) Sankramam day (April
14) with the hoisting of the temple flag. It lasts for seven days with the daily
elephant processions, special poojas and Sri bhuta bali (offering of moblation at various
altars) as also various entertainment programs culminating in arattu or bathing the deity,
on the last day in the temple tank. |
