Now move on to Tiruvangad Perumal temple, where shocks and surprises overwhelm, only to elevate you to a higher spiritual place. The historicity of this ancient temple seems vying with the awesome spiritual eminence it established due to its association with Srirama the seventh incarnation of Mahavishnu. Due to munificent patronage both by royalty and philanthropists, it has some unique features to the eternal jealousy of Kerala, like having a lofty pagoda covered with brass sheets instead of tiles and a very big temple pushkarini occupying two acres of land. Lord Rama the presiding deity along with Bhagawati receiving ardent worship have created such miraculous history, listening to which the pious Bhaktas ran to the temple to witnessing the vestiges of gods 'sports, although the temples authorities with the help of relics have not adequately brought to lime light, better say with media either audio or video, the development of which has gone beyond the skyline in this scientific age.

Among the several adorables in addition to the principal deity Rama installed in the shrine like Hanuma, Subrahmanya, Bhagavati etc., mother Bhagavathi deserves much space and detailed account. Funny to observe she is kept in a wooden cage the icon is behind bars! Shocking, isn't it?

Yes, she is put in a cage although receiving regular worship. And moreover showering boons lavishly on her adorers to a degree astonishing and awe - inspiring.  She is pleased with genuine bhakthi and graces her darshan timely too. She transcends man-made traditions and well - ordained injunctions.
