During my recent visit to Sabhari Mala for the Prathista Day, I had the opportunity to visit the Four Temples dedicated to Sri Ramachandramurthy and his three brothers Lakshmana Swamy, Bharatha Devan, and Shatrugna Devan. While Rama was the Avatar of Shrman Narayanan himself, the three brothers are embodiments of the divine objects associated with Vishnu. In this sense, Lakshmanan is Adhi Seshan, the 1000 headed serpent which forms the bed on which Shri Vishnu is in Anantha Sayanam. Bharathe and Shatrugna are the embodiments of the Conch and Disc. Thus worship of these four brothers is a hoilstic worship of Vishnu.
Nalambala Pradhakshinam
The idols of Sree Rama, Bharatha, Lakshmana and Satrughna which were adored by Sri Krishna during the Dwapara period are installed and consecrated at Thriparayar, Irinjalakuda, Moozhikulam and Payyammel respectively. A pilgrimmage to these four temples on a single day during the holy month of Karkadaka will shower the blessings of health, well-being and all round prosperity.
At the top of this Blog you will find the Gopura Vasal of all these temples. Gopura Dharsanam Kodi Punyam!
