They
resent isolation, not relish at separate existence. Each has his
magnanimous entity. This, perhaps the chief object of enshrining the
ideal brothers in one mahakshetra and building of two separate,
individual independent shrines in one and the same complex, and what
is more making provision for one circumambulatory path - Parikramana
marga.
Of
course in several hundreds of thirthas and kshetras the images of
Rama and Lakshmana are installed and adored, but rarely they are
worshipped in two separate shrines, that too one beside the other.
This is in consonance that Kerala's superiority and unique
intellectual luminosity. To worship them in two independent shrines
is a novelty! And an admirable one at it!! This ingenuity of
Keralites merits adulation and emulation.
