LANDED PROPERTY & DEITY

So many studies and gananangal based on various findings were held to pronounce the deity here. So far “Ashtamanagalya Prasnam” was held 3 times by veterans in this field to derive the worshipped deity at Thrikkaippatta, but a unanimous conclusion was not at sight to find out the main deity. They, the Devajnhas were unanimous that the temple was as old as 1500 and 2500 years which was destroyed about 700 years back. The temple was first under the control of Brahmins, then of Kshetriyhas and then of local Naduvazhis. It is interesting to note that still there is a reputed Brahmin family named Thirumangalath Illam at Nellicode, which is said to have control over this temple earlier. Though some senior citizens in the area strongly content that there was about 40 acres of land owned by the temple, at present only 2.04 acres of land is available for the shrine and the same is governed by a Registered Trust in which three nominees from Kalamkolli Tharavad(who owns the land) as representatives of the Fitperson and six nominees from devotees in these villages are members. The entire land around the said 2.04 acres is now acquired for the Cyber Park and we firmly believe that the land which is inherited to the temple will be vacated by the present intruders sooner or later.

Even though the Deity remained non-worshipped for centuries, people in the area are very much aware of the deva chaithanyam prevailing in the area. There are so many mysterious and miraculous instances connected with Thrikkaippatta Devan, which influenced the day to day activities of people in the area. The mounting desire to renovate and re-establish the past glory of the Shrine had led to serious Astro-Thantrik consultations and as a result the idol received from the location was temporarily installed in a shed(Balalayam) and the devotees are now worshipping there. Subsequently two committees were formed and started functioning, one for Reconstruction and Renovation and the other for Day to day maintenance of the temple.

As mentioned earlier, the Ashtamangalya Prasnam held three times could not decide the main deity here. Subsequently a series of discussions and evaluations were held by prominent Astrologers and Thantrik Pramukhs. After protracted discussions, the Astro-Vedic-Thantrik conglomeration of noted Astrologer, Shri Nallur Ramakrishna Panicker, Thantrik Acharya and Chairman, Thantrik Gaveshana Kendram, Iringalakuda, Shri L. Girishkumar, Temple Thantri Brahmashree Tharanallur Padinhare mana Padmanabhan Namboothiripad and Stapathi Brahmasree Vezhaparamb Brahmadathan Namboothiripad reached to a well evaluated and studied decision that the main deity is Lord Subrahmania(Muruka). On the basis of this, a plan and sketch for the Sreekovil for the main deity was prepared by Shri Sreesankaran Thampuran, according the measurements prompted by his Guru, Brahmasree Brahmadathan Namboothiripad. While preparing the sketch, the stature of the destroyed shrine, its oldness, strong and boundless devachaithanyam prevailing at the site, presence of Saktheya bhagavathi (Rurujith vidhanam), Kiratha Siva and Sasthav and all other related issues were taken into account.
