3. Vishnumaya and lord of thriprayar
Devotees of the Lord at Thriprayar believe that Hanuman Swami and Chathan Swami
stand as guards for Sree Rama Swami on either side of the sanctum sanctorum,
though there are no idols consecrated for them.When the procession of the Lord of
Thriprayar is taken to the Aarattupuzha Pooram accompanied by a retinue and the
traditional orchestra, it stops at Kanadi Kavu for the Traditional ‘Para’. There will be
no poojaas offered at Kanadi Kavu from the time of the ‘Para’ till the Lord of
Thriprayar returns to his temple the next day. The belief is that Chathan Swami will be
accompanying the Lord of Thriprayar on his journey.
