    Mridula,
    The structure and layout of the temple is also different than what we usually see.

    The name Ullal brought back memories of the story of Rani Abbakka of Ullal. Is there any historical sites around there? Thanks!

    Are you a GSB? I thought you were from Kerala. I have many friends who are GSB's mostly konkanis from padbidri, hebri, all close to this place.

    Although the temple is small, the interiors are well decorated. From the photographs it looks as if the walls/door jambs etc are covered with some metal sheet. While visiting Venkatachalapathi temple at Kochi, I was exposed to an hour's lecture on GSBs by my younger brother Sampath, who lives there.

    Well written blog mam. Thank you.

    Just wanted to clarify mam. GSB stands for Goud Saraswat Brahmins. Not Gowda Saraswat Brahmins. Gowdas are a different class altogether and we are often mistaken to be part of them at times because of the term-similiarity!!
