LORD SIVA OF ETTAMANUR

So he decided to offer a grand feast as it is done at Vaikom, spending some thousands on it, when Lord, as belief goes Siva also would present and partake. But the Lord of Ettamanuar advised him not to import or introduce traditions of other shrines and he could give his mite in cash. The King implicitly implemented the Lord's injunction - offered a huge sum and endowed the Lord with jewels.

Along with them, he offered this big size Nandi filling it with grain on offering due rituals. Bhaktas used to take a few grains of the paddy from a small hole to cure stomach trouble. This metal Nandi worked more than a living doctor, and so has been receiving prayers by the visiting Bhaktas since then.
