Then comes the much-venerated sanctorum, enshrining the image
of Balakrishna. The lord in standing porture feasts the eyes and
lifts the soul.
The
Kerala type of floral decoration of the Lord with brass lamps hung
around lend charm and detain the devotees longer. As the flickers of
the brass lamps mingle with the sparkles of sweet smiles of the Lord
in such- a grandiose manner, the beholders feel wafted to Repalli -
the divine stadium wherefrom that naughty Navaneethachor regaled the
whole world with his inimitable antics and rollicking pranks.
But
they are dragged down to this noisy, saucy world by the other
devotees waiting for that fleeting inexplicable joy. There is a
little shrine behind the Karuvarai dedicated to Lord Vinayaka, and
another at the Northeast for goddess Bhagawati. The
temple well lies near the sourthern Prakara and it is famous for its
crystal clear water with a special taste of its own, due to
possessing curative powers.
