SRI VADAKKUNATHAN OF TRICHUR

THE KUTTAMBALAM AND ITS ORIGIN

It goes that one Sankunni Varrier holding the office of Diwan, desiring to renovate the dilapidated ancient building, appointed Vellanazhi Nambudri, known for his mastery over Vastu Sastra. Besides being a master builder, he was an adorer of supreme type. 

He adopted a novel method of building-going to the old one and lying on his upper cloth for an hour, lost in meditation of God. Coming out, he used to order the workers to destroy the old and build new one according to his direction. "Without proper sketch, how to proceed?" Used to be the question by the workers.  He invariably answered, "It was done already". By whom? None could question him. Yet the bewildered carried out his behests, without further interrogation.
