ANNADANA PRABHU OF VAIKOM

it is here Vyagrapada emancipated an Yakshi harassing the locals during her nocturnal rounds; it is here Lord Parameswar acted as a drummer to help a helpless woman supplicant during the Utsavabali, an annual festival; it is to this Mulavirat, the Udayanapuram temple deity Subrahmanya comes in procession to pay obeisance every year; it is this Lord, who developed a particular preference for Sahasrakalasa puja, the costliest of sevas spreading over 10 days; it is here the redoubtable Manikyavachakar was taught a lesson by Lord Siva in changing his horses into dogs for using temple campus for his personal gain; it is here the Lord reveals himself in three aspects Dakshinamurthi - bestowed of wisdom, Kirata, the famous hunter and Satchidananda Lord of bliss and what is more, it is here orthodoxy with its bigotry took deep roots that ultimately turned out to be the standing example of Brahmin domination, or a byword for orthodoxy. 

Renowned for such peerless distinctive features, fortified by divine associations, visited .by poet-saints and saint-seers; worshipped by the incarnated Mahapurushas, patronized by eminent rulers and glorified for feeding Brahmins on large scale for yeast this mokshapuri praised as Dakshinakali entered the archives and occupied a significant place as the strong hold of orthodoxy, simple and perfect.
