KUTALAMANIKYAM

THE TEMPLE COMPLEX

Let us now enter that gift of Kerala and see what other special features it is treasuring up in and out of the temple complex. Among the marvels it embodies, the temple kitchen merits mention first. It is aid that for the arriving srirama and party, cooking was done by hundreds of persons, and among them Hanuman was the chief; for, he wanted to serve the best and delicious dishes to his Lord cooked with his hands. 

So joined the cooks. And since then he is spiritually present in the kitchen and helping the cooks in preparing naivedyam etc. in gargantuan vessels requiring the service of many persons; but thanks to Hanuman, now only a single cook attends to lifting, and transferring, and he does all single-handed with utmost ease.
