SRI VADAKKUNATHAN OF TRICHUR

Though perplexed, he reflected on the outcome for a while, when he realised to his infinite joy that Lord Siva did so deliberately to drive home the truth, that there exists no difference between Siva and Vishnu; both are same and each is as powerful and important as the other. Perhaps to impress upon this universal reality, Lord Siva blessed him with the image of Sankaranarayana at the end. Gratified infinitely, he started the installation work with due rituals.  May be to give absolute contentment to all classes of devotees, he installed MOTHER Parvathi's icon in a separate shrine behind that of Lord Siva, his own inseparable spouse. 

And with this addition, this predominant Siva kshetra embodies Saktipita, making it a full circle. This is Parasurama's ingenuity! And that speaks of his boundless concern of humanity. A standing proof of his catholicity!
