KRISHNA'S PREFERENCE FOR PALPAYASAM

One such case is seen at Amabalhapuzha Krishna Temple. This presiding deity has a passion for palpayasam and relishes it whenever it is offered and by whom so ever ? His adorers think of nothing except this offering on their visits. Bhagavan Krishna, the grahita bestows boons on the datas munificently. So people take vows to offer it to crossing the ocean of grief threatenning the tenor of life. and redeem them with full fervour. Neither there are people sans grief, not there is dearth in offering Palpayasam to the Lord. This has a strange origin. Read now.

This archamurthi developed a special liking for palpayasam and visitors invariably offer this at the Ucchapuja - noon prayer, and it is an important offering at it.  Its speciality lies in a kind of sweetness that defies description. Its origin too is fantastic. Once it so happened  the Thampuran, the local lord to meet an emergency borrowed some paddy from a brahmin, living in  the nearby Thalavady village. but it was not returned as promised. The brahmin lacking in politeness demanded Thampuran to clear off the longstanding debt forthwith. when the Thampuran visited the temple for prayers. The Thampuran ordering the minister for immediate clearance, left the premises.
