Let us look into the glory of Peringottukara Sree Vishnumaya. On his way for the divine hunt Lord Siva happens to see Koolivaka, a tribal woman. She was a devotee of Goddess Parvathy. “In the yester-birth, Koolivaka tried to suckle Ganapathy. Now she is to get a chance to foster Siva’s son” Siva approached Koolivaka and asked her to be ready to be his son’s mother. Koolivaka was a devotee of Parvathy. Knowing her plight, Parvathy disguised as Koolivaka and awaited to welcome Siva. Siva and disguised Koolivaka united resulting in the birth of a cute child. Siva and Parvathy appeared in front of Koolivaka and deputed her to foster the child. After living with Koolivaka for some years the child became mature enough to know the detail of his real parents. Then Sivanandana proceeded to the abode of Siva and rode on a cute Buffalo blowing his favourite Eezhara. When he was not allowed enter to the abode of Siva, Sivanandana assumed the form of Vishnu. Thus Sivanandana was known as ‘Vishnumaya'. When he was with his parents Lord Vishnumaya killed Demons like Bhringa and Jalandhara. Due to the divine deeds he had done was invited to live in heaven. Lord Vishnumaya sai “I prefer to live on the earth with the human beings”. This deity was worshiped by Punchanellur family in North Kerala. Velumuthappan Swami who wanted to protect the village from misery did strict penance to please Being pleased Bhuvaneswary for an apt solution. Bhuvaneswary appeared before him and said “Install the idol of Vishnumaya and worship with utmost devotion” Velumuthappan did as per the advice. One morning he got an idol of Vishnumaya from Triprayar River. He brought it to his house. Then he sought the advice of Punchanellur Family.The senior most person in the family blessed him with ‘Moolamanthra’ (The divine hymn). Velumuthappanswamy started worshiping Vishnumaya and some of his followers were chosen to be the Velichapadu of Vishnumaya cult. The shrine built by VelumuthappanSwamy has been served by 4 generations. Today the shrine has become famous as Peringottukara Devasthanam where many a devotee find a solution for their problems. The birthday of Lord Vishnumaya is celebrated as "Thiravellattu'.This day is most suited for the devotees to get their wishes fulfilled.The auspicious day for the next festival is predicted by God himself who perform dance on this day. The idol of founder priest sree Velumuthappan is also brought out from the Kushikalpam along with the idol of vishnmaya swamy. The Festival lasts for 9 days. Seven day musical programme is also held to please the God. The first kalam (magnificently decorated image) on the floor belongs to velu muthappan. The command of lord vishnumaya is that Velumuthappan should be adored first. From next day onwards all 7 kalams are arranged. The last day is the making if Lord vishnumaya's kalam . This is done with utmost care and dedication. T he devotees get all their wishes fulfilled and attain deliverance after seeing the full Roopkalam of Bhagavan. This opportunity is possible only once in an year . Then the God put his steps on the roopakalam which is consideredas the most sacred act. Afterwardes ,taking a bit of dust from this roopklam and keeping it at homes and worshiping is the custom follwed by the devotees.This ensures prosperity and rescue from all evils.
