Beautiful temple at the heart of kottayam. Photogenic place....

Amazing experience, peaceful, quiet just sit or stand and pray in peace. Go to the Nandi deva whisper your request in his ear remember do not do pradakshinam Or full circle. Only half circle. Watch out for your head as the roofs are too low and long. Pants are allowed no shirt or t shirt or banian, for males. Be there before 11 or you will have to wait 30 minutes plus for ucha - noon pooja and it takes long and immediately in 15-20 minutes temple closes.
