SRIRAMA'S TEMPLE - TRIPRAYAR

THE CLOSING OF WESTERN GATE

There is one were version recounting the installation of Sridevi and Bhudevi in the Srikoil and it is attributed to Bilwamangalathu Swamiyar. During his worship on his visit to the temple, he found to his ecstatic joy, Sridevi and Bhudevi entering through the western door and worshipping the archamurthi.

To set right the fault in location of installation, he made arrangements for the installation of the Goddesses on either side and also closing of western gate with a view to making the goddesses remain confined to the Srikoil alone. Hence the closure of western gate then, and they are not flung open since then.
