KUTALAMANIKYAM

BRINJAL NAIVEDYAM TO BHARATA

The offering of Brinjal Naivedyam is a distinctive feature of this temple. And it has an interesting background. Once a devout aged Bhaktas suffered from stomach-ache for years. Expert doctors in the best hospitals too left him in lurch, saying incurable. Advised by an ardent devotee, he reached this temple and participated in Bhajans, observing austerities. 

He worshipped the Lord soulfully for some days. Will this Lord also let him down? Certainly not! He appeared before him in a dream and advised him to prepare Brinjal Naivedyam with I0I brinjals and offer it to him. He did. And lo! his acute and much-agonising pain disappeared like himabindu at the touch of the first ray of Balabhaskara. Since then it is highly preferred for curing the ailments, and moreover regarded as a special item of offering to the deity.
