LORD OF VAIKOM |
|
| Legend has it
that Siva and Parvati pleased with the devotion of Vyaghrapada gave darshan to him under a
peepal tree to the south of the eastern gateway. The place is still marked by a young tree
with a raised platform where a lamp is lit daily and special pujas are held. It was in the
early hours of the morning on Ashtami day, in the dark fortnight of the month of
Vrischikam (November December), that Vyaghrapada had the divine vision. This day is
celebrated as part of the annual Ashtami festival, when, to have early morning darshan of
the idol, is considered very auspicious.
