This
ancient Siva Ambalam lies near Vaikom and houses many adorable
deities as in other Siva temples. This is a largely visited shrine.
Many pious, wealthy theists donated liberally in the past. Among its
plus points, it has the golden dwajasthambha reflecting the rich
donations made by
bhaktas. The Travancore Maharaja's patronage took many shapes. It
celebrates among other things the Maharaja's birthday. Appam is the
important Naivedyam favoured among other usual items by the Lord.
It
lies about 10 km off Vaikom enjoying all transport facilities.
