LORD CHENNAKESAVA OF BELUR

MOTHER LAKSHMI'S RAGE

Now remains the story of the image installed in the main temple brought from Bababuden Hills. With a view to enshrining the befitting image on the auspicious occasion, the idol from the hills was brought in a hurry, leaving the icon of Lakshmi there itself. Later the fault of leaving Lakshmi there alone came to light. Attempts Were made forthwith to bring the Lakshmi image but were misfired. It seemed Mother Lakshmi found unrelented at the insult shown. She would not be lifted, tried however much. So, the Lord himself is making periodical visits to console her. This is not an imaginary, or cooked up story, but a regular occurrence with proof. Here it is - It is believed that a pair of oversize leather slippers placed in front of the Principal deity - Kesava is meant for use in his trips.
