This temple too is no exception and the village bears a distinct name of Aadanoor. Here reclines the holy of the holies, Aandalakkum Ayyan. There is no account of this temple which can be complete without the sketch of the Lord who reclines and saves mankind. He measures our action and metes out the rewards or punishment deftly. He has no friend or foe even as he proclaims similar sentiments in Bhagwat Gita. The main spring of inspiration for this kshetra is provided by the Alwar saints and their hymns dating back to aeons of time.
