Martina- thanks a lot. You would love it.
I am glad you wrote you about this temple. Although I have severally gone to Rama's temple at Triprayar and Bharata's temple at Irinjalakuda, I could not visit the rest two. Now I plan to cover all of them on a single day as is very often advised.
Thanks PNS. You can make the visit in a single day. I did like that.Payyamel Shatrughna temple was under renovation and they close the temple around 9 am. So check and visit or else visit that in the evening.
Beautiful..
