Karuppannaswami
has no image and two massive wooden doors of entrance to the gopuram at the 18th
step are dedicated to
him. The doors are worshipped with all veneration. As,
Karuppannaswami said to have been brought from the North, devotees stand facing towards
the North and offer worship to him. This is the main entrance of temple but will be seen
closed always. The entrance is kept open only
once a year at the time of Brahma Utsava. It is believed that a ma who utters a falsehood
here and passes through the gate of eighteen steps will come to a miserable end. The
parties agreeing to follow the affirmation made in this manner have settled many a civil
suit. A fee of Rs. 5.50 is charged by the temple to record such affirmation made before
this deity. |
