This spectacular show
witnessed by hundreds of devotees who
are enthralled by the enchanting "Panchavadya"
and "Nadaswara" performances.
After the mid-day the door of Sanctum
Sanctorum closes. Only to re-open at 2
p.m for the "Makam Darsana". The whole
temple premises will be over crowded by
devotees especially the women folk to
have a look at Devi who appears in her
sacred full-fledged splendour and glory
decked in her sacred gold ornaments, precious
jewellery and innumerable garlands. It
is a resplendent vision. This is exactly
the form of vision which Villwamangalam
Swamiyar was believed to have had when
he faced westward after the "Prathishta"
(installation) of Kizhukkavu Bhagavathy,
Chottanikkara Devi appears at this moment
clad in glittering clothes brilliant ornaments
and fine jewellery with her four arms
bearing varam, Abhayam, Shank and Chakram
(Offering gift and refuge) to her ardent
devotees. It is fervently believed that
Darsanam at this moment will result in
the fulfillment of all prayers and cherished
desires. It is fervently believed that
those who gain "Darsana" at this crucial
"Mithuna Lagna" , will be blessed
with the fulfilment of their long standing
desire and prayers.
