GURUPAVANAPURA

 

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.
