from Kumaranellore on Sunday led by the senior member of 'Mangattu Illam',
Narayanan Bhattathiri, will reach Aranmula Wednesday morning. According to
legend, the prerogative to host the feast for the deity at Parthasarathy temple
has been bestowed with the members of the Illam at Kattur in Kozhencherry. With
the shifting of the Illam to Kumaranellore about 15 years ago, Bhattathiri took
the journey in a newly made decorated country boat after traditional pooja. The
vessel is accompanied by several snake boats. He will return after the
'Athazha pooja' at the temple Wednesday evening, Thiruvonam day.
