FESTIVALS
The
temple conducts besides the regulars, special pujas, like the
Namajapam every day in the evenings - repetition of the Lord's
names. And Bhagavatha Saptaham once a year. The annual festival
begins on the Vishu - the auspicious new year for Keralites. Its
pageantry is of special kind and attracts lakes of devotees from all
over the country.
The
temple received purificatory ceremonies in 1967 after completing the
renovation in
1966
necessitated by Tippu Sultan's spoilt ion and desecration during his
military campaign. The untiring and devout efforts of the theist
citizens are masterly directed and reviving the former glory of the
temple, which created new records in temple history.
Sure,
it reaches the pinnacle soon.
