KUTALAMANIKYAM

Considering it as the rarest privilege let all by the benignity of the all merciful Bhagawan, he installed them according to sastric injunctions, building modest shrines, one for each at four places for Srirama at Triprayar, Bharata at Irinjilakuda; Lakshmana at Mooahikulam and Satrughna at Payammal. Another feature of specialty observable in the four is, they are the images of Lord Mahavishnu bearing striking resemblances with one another - all adorned with four hands, holding mighty conch, disc, mace and rosary. And are of same design and size. 

But they are conceived differently and given different names. The image of Bharat displays in its face a distinct and rare kind of anxiety and devout longing for the Darshan of his brother, expected to arrive in any moment. Belief gained currency that worshipping of the four deities at all the four places, on the same day confers special merits; and it is possible; for, all of them lie at short distances from one another, and moreover command conveyance facilities.
