VAIKOM - ANANDA PRABHU AMBALAM

It is here, Khara installed the second of the three lingas blessed to him by Lord Maheswar Himself. Several fantastic events occurred here and they drew global attention, due to abuse of powers by the Orthodox Brahmins, who exercised unlimited ill-gotten powers for yugas, but were justly punished when the opportune moment turned up in the early twenties of this century.

The august Sivalinga is quite imposing and measures about 5 feet in height. It is installed on a square shaped, two-foot-high beautiful Vedika. This huge, majestic linga, when adorned with dazzling jewels and colorful garlands, looks extremely beautiful and transports the beholders to Kailas for a while, as it were. The glare of several brass lamps burning bright around adds exceptional grace and heightens its loveliness.
