THE VADAKKUNNATHAN TEMPLE |
|
| Thus we have
three main shrines in the temple, dedicated to Siva, Vishnu and Sankaranarayana. Behind
Siva, the goddess. Parasurama also installed Parvati. This image is of wood and, hence no
abhisheka is performed for this deity. All other idols are of stone except that of
Vadakkunnathan, which is a mound of ghee. This is again a unique feature of the temple. Ghee Mound Traditionally the abhisheka to Parameswara here is always with cow's ghee. Because of this constant abhisheka the ghee will be soon to form a mound as were.
