This
famous ambalam dedicated to Siva has many legends. A pious Nambudri
of Vaikom temple was advised to worship this archamurthi when bitten
by a cobra for cure. When went to offer prayers to the Lord, a black
cobra appeared before him to bite, but suddenly a garuda bird
descended and tore the serpent to pieces. Would Evil dare to do harm
to the devotees ? Would that Maheswar allow it in His precincts ?
The place where the pieces fell are adored by theists. Lord Siva and
Parvathi, the presiding deities are extremely compassionate and
shower boons liberally. It is a largely visited temple.
It
lies in the central Travancore, enjoying all transport facilities
from Shenkottai.
