Bhagavan
Krishna as the director of Jagannataka enacts this scene to teach the world that
artistes must be duly honoured for the world to be profited by. For, Kavitha,
vanitha and latha - poetry, woman, and creeper live, shrine and thrive with good
prop only. Perhaps to vindicate this universal truth, he personally undertook
this mahatkarya and built a tradition meriting applause and emulation.
Though
it occurred in some centuries back, the temple is still practising and
performing this ritual with great fanfare.
As is the belief, so is the tradition.
Location
: The temple lies in Amoalhepuzha accessible by four wheelers from Alleppy.
