About the temple
Sri Ananthapadmanabha Swamy Temple is Vibrant
with the spiritual power of Lord Mahavishnu is located northern end of Kerala,
in Ananthapura near Kumbla in Kasaragod District.
Here, in the Sreekovil, the sanctum
sanctorum, of the temple, Sri Anantha Padbhanabha is depicted as seated on the
divine serpent Anantha, while in the Sri Padmanabha Swamy Temple of
Thiruvananthapuram, the Lord is reclining on Anantha. On both the sides of the
Lord are Bhoodevi, the Goddess of Earth and Sreedevi, the Godess of Prosperity.
Garuda and Hanuman stand in front of them praying with folded hands. Heavely
maidens tan the Lord and his consorts from behind. Jaya and Vijaya, Lord
Vishnu’s attendants, stand in guard at the entrance.
Vilvamangalathu Swamiyar, residing near Ananthapuram Temple in Kasargod, prayed to Lord Vishnu for his darshan. The Lord
came in disguise as a small, mischievous boy. The boy defiled the Saligrama which was kept for Puja. The Sage became enraged at this and
chased away the boy. The boy disappeared. After a long search, when he was
walking on the banks of Arabian Sea, he heard a pulaya lady threatening her
child that she would throw him in Ananthankadu. The moment the Swami heard the
word Ananthankadu, he was delighted. He proceeded to Ananthankadu based on the
directions of the lady from whom he enquired. The Sage reached Ananthankadu
searching for the boy. There he saw the boy merging into an Iluppa tree (Indian
Butter Tree). The tree fell down and became Anantha Sayana Moorti (Vishnu
reclining on Anantha). But the Lord was of an extraordinarily large size with
head at Thiruvallom, navel at Thiruvanananthapuram and lotus-feet at
Thrippadapuram (Thrippappur). The Sage requested the Lord to shrink to a
smaller proportion – thrice the length of his staff. Immediately, the Lord
shrank. But even then many Iluppa trees obstructed a complete vision of the
Lord. The Sage saw the Lord in three parts – thirumukham, thiruvudal and
thrippadam. Swami prayed to Padmanabha to be forgiven . The Swami offered Rice
Kanji and Uppumanga (salted mango pieces) in a coconut shell to the Perumal
which he obtained from the pulaya woman. The spot where the Sage had darsan of
the Lord belonged to Koopakkara Potti and Karuva Potti. With the assistance of
the reigning King and some Brahmin households a Temple was constructed.
Koopakkara Potti was made the Tantri of the Temple.
