It is shut and an enclosure is
erected around. It is held in high esteem that nobody ever entered it, nor knew
what it contained. Moreover, none is allowed to probe into its mysteries. There
is hung up a crimson cloth against its western wall and it is adored
with lighting of lamp and singing of hymns. Even the highest dignitary including
the priest, never went beyond this point.
The
next adorable objects here are the Saptamatrukas installed in a hall adjoining
the Srikoil. The kshetrapalaka image lies in the courtyard on the north east
side. It is a twelve foot high image that beckons attention by its mere size and
shape.
