TIRUKAKKARAI (Tirukkatkarai)
This Divya shetram is located 14 Kms from Irinjalakuda on Trichur Ernakulam railroad in Kerala. The moolavar is Katkaraiyappan also called Vamana. The Thayar is Perunchelvanayaki. The Thertham is kapila Theertham and the Vimanam Pushkala
Vimanam.
Legend has it that Mahabali symbolically offered land to Lord Vishnu with the water from Kapila Theertham at this shetram.
There is an interesting story that plantains in an orchid got destroyed regularly. The owner prayed to Lord Vamana and offered a plantain tree made of gold. From then on
the trees grew and gave plenty of fruits. This variety of plantain is called Nendram Vazha.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:
