Above
all, his farmana to offering Pattuputtam and dazzling pearls for
talambralu to the presiding deity of Bhadrachalam temple on the annual
Kalyanotsavam is an unparalleled humanist act that made him immortal and popular
ruler of eternal fame.
A
Muslim king presenting highly sacrosanct objects annually to the archamurti of a
Hindu temple may seem incredible and unheard of and some half baked in mature
may even dismiss it as a concocted fact. But if they have eyes to see or
patience to go through historical records. They learn then, it is nothing but a
solidified, unadulterated immutable truth. yes nothing but truth recorded, by
prudent and prejudiced historians. That Tanisha the great turned a new leaf in
his life on getting graced with the divyadarsan of Bhagawan Sri rama and his
brother Lakshman on realisation of the potency of Bhakthi. He forthwith ordered
and that those confiscated costly jewels to be returned to the much-adored
archamurti and issued a farmana that hence forward Pattu puttam and pearls to be
presented to him on the auspicious annual Kalyanostvam festival, besides making
many endowments. Though more than three centuries since rolled by the present
democratic government, the rightful successor of Nawab is implementing it with
devotional ardor. The presiding deity Srirama has demonstrated miraculous powers
that converted bigotry into nectarine tolerant deism. The temple, needless to
add is luring a steady stream of devotees round the year, and during that
Kalynotsavam festival lakhs of theists of all faiths at it.
