It has three
clear out portions. In the innermost part, there is set up of the adorable image
of Mulavar in standing. posture with a staff in his hand. This exquisitely
sculptured icon is seen draped in simple kanpeenam-loin cloth;
for, he renounced all the worldly possessions and ostentatious apparels or
glittering jewels on the day of his setting foot here. But the priests decorate
him during evening hours deftly with costly royal clothes that virtually gives
him an imperial look and dignified status.
This Rajalankaram with splendid
diamond studded crown on head, bedecked with shimmering silks from neck to feet
and dazzling jewels and fragrant pushpamalas over his chest is a sight to be
seen and enjoyed than read or heard.
