MELMARUVATHUR

Behind this lies a huge image of Nagendra-spreading his out spread hood over Durga in sitting posture. To the right of the main shrine there lies a margosa tree held in high esteem; for, it fulfils the desires of those whose marriages are unduly delayed and blesses children to the barren women. 

The last object of adoration is located in a small shrine right across the Road and just opposite the main temple. It is here installed the image of Adarvana Bhadrakali and worshipped to be relieved of the evil effect of sunyarn, sorcery etc. Only these few account for the ever growing popularity of this shrine. More than these adorable deities, its traditions deserve special study. Of the many at least six merit elaboration.
