Thiruvananthapuram

Many of you would have known by now that the Thirumeni of Sri Anantha Padamanabar is made of Nava Rathnams (Gold, diamond, gems, vaiduryam and lots more) This was discovered recently when Pothis (Archakas are called as Pothis in Malai Nadu divya desams) saw some shine in one of the hands of Perumal while doing Thirumanjanam to moolavar. When they started cleaning, to their amazement, they found that complete thirumeni of perumal is full of gold and nava rathnams (This was covered with some black element some centuries back to protect perumal from invaders).

Of all the Sayana Perumals, the one at this Kshetra is the largest. To have complete darshan of the Siras(Head), body and Pada(Feet), one has to view from the three entrances. On the south side of the compound there is a Sannadhi for Yoga Nrisimha with Hanuman in front and Krishna at the rear of the Sannadhi. The temple for Lakshmi Hayagriva and Srinivasa is on the south side. As per the Sthala purana , at the request of Diwakara yogi, Lord took the huge form of the size of Tridanda so as to have darshan from the three entrances. Anantasayana vrada is considered very important here.
