THE IMAGE:
The
enrage of Parvathi called popularly Bhagawathi was originally a granite one, but
it was replaced by a beautiful two and half afoot high panchaloha vigraha. The
Mother is, exceedingly beautiful with her enchanting lotus - petalled eyes and
smiling contenance. She reveals with two hands - one in Varadamudra and
the other Abhaya. Decorated with several invaluable dazzling jewels and
resplendent silks, she casts an enchantment that the bhaktas rivet their gaze
at her for Iong. The numerous brass ,lamps burning bright heighten
her loveliness to a
million fold and make the viewers oblvius of this
world for a while. It becomes verily an unforgettable exprience to avail the
darsan of both Gouri and Shankar in one and the same Srikoil, moreover one
behind the other.
