SRI VADAKKUNATHAN OF TRICHUR

FESTIVALS

Strangely enough this benign, Lord shuns publicity and resents going out in procession out of the temple complex. So no Utsavams or festivals, except Maha Sivaratri. Even on this holiest day he does not stir out of his seat. Utsavamurthis are not taken out. ON the spectacular celebration of Pooram day too, he merely watches everything going on as passive spectator than an active participant he does not allow even a single pisa spent on any item of expenditure incurred then.

Everything goes on as usual, and nothing special even in puja is allowed to creep into the temple premise. What a frugality! How much simplicity!! Sure, this is in conformity with the unostentatious life preferred by that Kailasadhipathi, the personification of sublime humility.
