Prayers
In Hindu
mythology, any temple facing the South is called Parihara Sthalam, in which one
can find remedy for any kind of problems in life. Doing Annadhanam (free
feeding) here is considered most auspicious and believed that it will get us
back the lost positions, possessions and will help attain God’s feet. Lighting
the Ghee lamp here, one is removed of all his sins.
