It was he who also arranged for the conduct of the Ashtami festival. It is enjoined that whoever offers a bilwa leaf or ar coin or a lamp on the is liberated in this world and the next.

Flawlessly Finished

This is how Ronal Bernier describes Vaikom to "in a spacious green setting that is almost empty of diary building the temple appears flawlessly finished. Temple is elliptical. It is topped with a cone-shaped roof that is absolutely geometrical, covered with coppar and crowned by a dazzling gold stupi. The height of tala or wall is barely one-third that of the colossal And the total effect is one of pure form in space."
