SRI VADAKKUNATHAN OF TRICHUR

According to legend, the parents of AdiSankara visited this famous temple and offered prayers, observing austerities like fasting for 41 days for the birth of a son. The All-Compassionate Lord choosing to be born as their son to reinstate the falling Hindu citadel, granted it at once. 

And accomplished his ambition by establishing four Mutts in four premier centres of India. It is believed that he came here and rejoined the deity-attained Sayujyam, though there is another version that attributes his final disappearance at Kedarnath temple lying in the snow capped Himalayas.
