SRI VADAKKUNATHAN OF TRICHUR

A deep study of this august person will be rejuvenating, elevating and rewarding to every one, regardless of a wide variety of limitations. He is the creator and sustainer of Kerala. No where his fervour for religious awakening surfaced as it did at Tiru- Siva-Perur, the shortened soulless Anglicised form of Trichur. It is here his ardour for spiritual glorification of the land reached the zenith and made him a polestar among the nation - builders. It is on account of his deep mediation, there emerged the image of Mahavishnu, Sivalinga, and Sankaranarayana - a combined from Siva and Vishnu. 

Though almost all temples of Kerala are bearing the imprints of his zeal for religious regeneration, this temple besides enshrining those images is retaining many vestiges in the form of Vedikas and rituals. Without modification. It is his gift and the best one at it. Among the uniques that the temple boasts, the archamurthis in all four main srikoils deserve first mention.
