THE VADAKKUNNATHAN TEMPLE

Accordingly they observed the prescribed fast. And Parasurama did appear to their surprise. When he enquired about their trouble the Nambudiris had to confess that they invoked him only as -a test. At this, the sage got angry. Saying that he would never again appear before them he disappeared for ever.

Imposing Kuttambalam

A striking feature of the temple is the Kuttambalam, which one sees on the left side as one enters the temple through the western gopuram. This is the theatre hall for staging kuttu, an ancient dramatic form of art famous in Kerala.
