Melattingal Siva Temple
The primary offerings of Melattingal Mahadevan include the performance of Dravya Kalasa and Nava Kalasa poojas, accompanied by the recitation of Veda Manthras. To the west of this Mandapa, there is a Nandi sculpted from a single stone. By traversing the stone-paved inner pathway, one arrives at the Sreekovil, also known as The Holy of Holies of Shree Melattingal Mahadevan; Vaikkathappan, the Annadana Prabhu who fulfills the desires of His devotees. The Sreekovil, or main inner sanctum, is circular and consists of two chambers. The first chamber, the Mukha Mandapa, is constructed from circular stone, while the second chamber, the Garbha Griha (Sanctum Sanctorum), is entirely made of stone, including the roof, and is square in shape. In the center of this chamber lies a Peedhom, or platform, approximately one foot high.
