TRISSUR TEMPLE - NANDI - SIVA'S MOUNT AT THE ENTRANCE

Now it is the turn for the cows to be fascinated by the extraordinary beauty of the bull, and riveted their broad eyes on it, forgetting grazing even. This went on for some time. Later, the newly born calves, bore striking resemblances to the stone bull at the temple. People realised their folly. Sure, whatever the object the pregnant women fancy for, or concentrate their attention during their pregnancy, the offspring's partake its qualities and shape. It is the same bull the visitors see and worship before offering prayers to the principal deities.

Does this not testify to the truth scientific? This fact silences the voluble tongue of the atheist, but joins the palms of theists in recognition of the infinite powers of that Parameswar.

Location : The temple lies in Trissur, accessible by four wheelers from Palghat, Kerala.
