The sanctum of Thrippaloor Narasimha temple Malappuram Kerala was three storeyed and the Narasimha idol was also very huge in size.

Hindus of locality tried to rebuild temple a decade back, but work was stalled due to shortage of funds.

Even the circumambulation path of Thrippaloor Narasimha temple in Malappuram was encroached and people made an illegal road through the temple. The temple pond was taken over by the Panchayat.

Yesterday was the Punya Thithi of Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, a freedom fighter who has not really got his due, and not known much outside of Kerala. But was one of the toughest warriors, and a nightmare to the British, a true legend who deserves to be known more.
Even I did not have much idea about Pazhassi Raja, I knew only through that 2009 Mamoooty movie. And when I read about him more, just realized, this was one hero, about whom we never knew, guy was a legend in his life time.
Just imagine a man who defeated Hyder Ali, Tipu Sultan and above all Lord Wellesley, yes the same Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon later at Waterloo. That was Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, the Lion of Kerala, yet beyond Kerala, not many know about him.

Have been tweeting about absolute lack of scholarship on the right, the left fares no better. More pointer in support of our contention that nothing much to choose between the two. A short thread on my interactions with peelaraja and Pen int chair Salil Tripathi
Tipu Sultan’s atrocities are now too well documented to rebut, partly due to our research on the topic, led by @maidros78 . The way out to salvage Islamism - give a list of atrocities from the past to show all ancient rulers are bad, not only Muslim ones.
This is the lazy and intellectually dishonest road that the Peelaraja handle takes, without investing the time and effort to document his claims like we have done through months of research on Tipu.

This seems to be the consensus about the best place to contribute to disaster relief in Kerala. The site is very user-friendly. If you've never been to Kerala, it might be hard to relate. There is so much suffering in the world: Why should Kerala be a priority? And honestly,
I don't have a good answer to that, except it is, or was, the most beautiful place I've seen in my life. Here, someone asks, on Quora, "How beautiful is Kerala?" quora.com/How-beautiful-… See the answers. Those photos aren't enhanced. Those are the real colors you see.
It has an extraordinarily rich culture. It's called the spice garden of the world, and it's been the center of the spice trade since about 3000 BC. Kerala is the plce Columbus and Vasgo de Gama were actually trying to reach. Herodotus described it:

#Kerala architects stood out in their mastery over wood sculpting. If you ask, why most of the temples in Kerala are not so architecturally minute in their making, the answer is: wood. Cheras largely worked with wood. This is the koothambalam of #haripad Subramanian temple.
Because the entire structure was made of wood most of the grand temples succumbed to fire accidents. It was easy for invaders to raze it too. But remnants of it exist only in a handful of temples. See this video. #haripadsubramanian temple.
