TIRUVIL WAMALA - THE SEAT OF RAMA & LAKSHMANA

 

The place of his settlement is now called Bhutan Mala the image he installed is now worshipped in the Srikoil facing the east and it is Lakshmanamurthi. The image in the adjoining Srikoil is called Srirama and it is Swaymabhu self-born. 

The archamurthi is comparatively bigger and is fitted with permanent gold plated kavacha anal is in two parts - the lower part covering upto waist and the upper one the rest, but joined at the waist dexterously that none discerns the joint. 

The belief goes that there is a cave below the Srikoil, where lies a golden vilwa tree. And on account of this alone, the place is named Vilwamala.
