TRICHAMBARAM KRISHNA TEMPLE |
|
|
There is a
legend behind the practice of conducting nrittam at Pookothunada on the main road.
Years ago there were several Brahmin houses on either side of the road. Pookothunada was
the courtyard of one of the houses called Pookathillam. Here there lived a devout
Nambudiri woman. Like Kururamma, before whom Guruvayurappan appeared at her bidding, the
Lord of Trichambaram appeared before the woman at will. The lady who never missed
her visit to the temple and offering of butter to the Lord in course of time became so old
and-sick that she could no longer pay any visit to the temple.
Her one regret, however, was that she could not witness the nrittam during the annual
festival, which took place at the temple. |
