Main deity subramanya idol is almost 6 ft Height but placed on elevated steps, so if you want to worship from outside, you have to bend or almost kneel down to see the idol. Yesterday was aarattu festival for the god and we were blessed to see the good taking holy bath. Temple timings are between 5 to 12 noon and 5 to 8 pm.

“I was here as part of the Yoga vacation program during the January month. In the midst of western ghats alongside Neyyar dam, this place provides a very good environment to practice Yoga. This place is spiritually vibrant and one can feel that during morning and evening meditation and chantings. The food provided here is satvik which is nutritious for both body and mind. Spiritual trip from the Ashram side was also great. During this journey, I learned many things from various spiritual experiences and cultures of others.
