SRIRAMA'S TEMPLE - TRIPRAYAR

This uniqueness indeed has become instrumental in drawing Saiva and Vaishnava Bhaktas in large numbers. There is a mini-shrine for Ganapathi opposite the garbhagriha. As the image is just opposite the Mulavirat like the mount of the Lord, devotees while praying remember Hanuman, though there is no visible idol for him. The offering of Kadins is very common here, and it commemorates the return of Hanuman after finding out Mother Sita in Asoka Vana in Lanka. As the image of the mulavirat was installed some centuries back, it is worn off considerably, so panchaloha Kavacha is made and it adorns the Lord now. 

The image adorned with Sri Vasta mark on the chest, beautified by several dazzling necklaces around the neck along with colourful garlands look extremely enchanting, and its smiling sublime countenance mesmerizes the devotees. If once a visit is made to avail that enchanting darsan, its rapturous thrill, exercises such grip, that it never reaches the point of satiety. That is the glory of Srirama - the Trimurthyatmakaswarupa, a rarity not found anywhere.

This Lord has a particular fascination for the Kootu Vazhivadu - offering of pantomime. In the bygone past, Prabandha Koottu was a regular common offering, and every visitor deeming; it a proud privilege was offering it to the deity. The deity seeing it unseen enjoyed to his heart's content.
