Now
a little bit of background is expedient for full comprehension. Temple
traditions are many and varied. They are not uniform, nor do they change with
the march of time. Most of them are inducted along with the consecration of
archamurtis by spiritual men of great fame. Some are by godmen, who visit and
worship the deities with special conventional practices. Acharyas and priests
introduce a few to effecting localisation of the divinities, and making the
temples more popular, and deities adorable. Celebrated theists who attain
Sayujyaprapti - merging with gods also, leave behind a few practices which
become the much hallowed traditions in course of time. Whoever might be the
person, or whatever the condition, or whenever commenced, they exert great
impact on the adorers and change their outlook; for they are imbued with
divinity. The mysticism, that embodies them impel instant veneration. That
mysticism as a matter of fact lives in them, nay lives by them. Some of them are
very queer and so mystify any reasoning, but viewed in the light of the events
from which they emerged they become acceptable and adorable, even though they
are contrary to the acceptable conventions. Their queerness, in course of time
becomes the principal reason for their attraction and visitation. And forms a
unique feature exercising eternal fascination, for regular visits and devout
prayers. Among many such traditions observed, the Trichambaram Krishna temple
has a few that are really exciting and fantastic.
