BHAGAWATHI OF GHENGANNUR

Near the western gopuram, there is a mini-shrine for Krishna with Ganga and Gangodhar enshrined as Upadevathas. Another visit-worthy place in the complex is the giant peepal tree grown tall. It lies on the right side of west Nada and it is worshipped by the victims of Sunya and evil spirits. There is belief that evil spirit flees off, no sooner them a nail is driven into the trunk of the tree.

Hence the crowds throughout  his temple like the shrine of Guruvayur is famous for the celebration of marriages, annaprasana etc and they are conducted in the west Nada of the temple and here congregate people in large numbers both for performing bhajans and offering special pujas. A ritualistic puja called Pushpanjali is very popular here. It is akin to archana with a difference. If it is offered for 41 days regularly, the worshipper reaps several merits. Many hope-lost, desperate Bhaktas gained solace, and prospered well with this Pushpanjal offerings.
