After
the wedding ceremony, Vishnu ordered Viswakarma to erect this temple and started his life
with Bhoomi Devi. The place is known as Akasanagaram, Tiruvinnagaram and Markandeya
Kshetram, and the Vimana is known as Sutananda Vimana.
Many came and worshipped the Lord here and once Brahma after worship requested permission
of the Lord to perform nine days festival in the month of Purattasi--one month prior to
his (Vishnu's) marriage. Brahma again came to this place in Panguni along with all devas
and as per the Vaikhanasa system hoisted the flag on Chittirai Star and the nine days
festival ended with the car festival on the Tiruvona Star day when it would be an Ekadasi
day, connected with the first arrival of Vishnu in the guise of an old man. |
