DANCING
AROUND A TREE |

There
is again another awesome tradition observed in this temple i.e., the priest
dancing round an Ilanju tree lying outside the campus. And offering of prayers
with a ring placed on the leaf. The belief is fortified by a strange event that
took place in the dim past. Now listen! An Ilanju tree lying on the south side of
the tower is imbued with mystical powers. It tells an interesting story and bends
the heads of the visitors. Incidentally, it focuses light on the sanctity of
every object here exuding divinity and the Lord's infinite mercy for his
bhaktas. According to the word current here, once a man afflicted with an
incurable skin disease came here and started praying to the Lord for cure. when
every doctor tried and failed. Being a man of great faith in God, he used to sit
on the platform beneath that Ilanju tree for meditation from the opening of the
temple doors to the closing till late in the night. He did this for long.
