SRI VADAKKUNATHAN OF TRICHUR

The ghee abhisheka being the Lord's favourite, devotees offer it with due prayers. Behind this is situated the MOTHER Parvathi's shrine. The icon is made of wood and faces east. Its beauty draped in glittering jewellery and colourful garlands enthralls the devotees. The two-storeyed temple for Srirama is located to the south end of the Srikoil. It is facing west, like that of the Lord Siva's shrine. 

The icon of Srirama is quite majestic with four hands adorned with Sudarsana Chakra, Sankha, Koumodaka and the fully blossomed Tamara. Abhisheka with oil alone is offered, unlike ghee in the Vadakkanthan shrine. The idol laden with colourful garlands and shining gold ornaments appears extremely radiant, lit by the flickering oils lamps around.
