About Irinjalakuda Koodalmanikyam Temple
One of the rarest temples in the world — the only temple in India where Bharata (the virtuous younger brother of Sri Rama from the Ramayana) is the presiding deity. Bharata is worshipped here as the ideal of filial devotion and surrender, having ruled Ayodhya with Rama's sandals on the throne. The annual Bharata Vilasam festival is unique and extraordinary.
