ANTIQUITY
The
installation of Krishna's image in the temple has an awe-some
background and the legends firmly establish the divinity pervading
this kshetra since the Dwaparayuga. This sublime picturesque region
endowed with the bounties of Nature, manifesting themselves in
colorful spectacles of tranquil lagoons, encircled by exuberant
growth of tall green trees amidst winding paths and criss-cross
roads captivated the heart of Sri Balagopala, and made this land as
his-second home.
He
used to play on flute to delight himself and the Nature since his
starting of playing flute. Once it appears the Brahmin ruler of
Cahmpakasseri Pooratam Tirunal happened to listen to the melodious
strains coming from afar while sailing in a stately boat along with
Bilwamangalaswamiyar.
