Samayapuram temple
The ‘balalayam’ for the temple was performed about a couple of months ago. Balalayam is a kind of ritual performed marking the commencement of works allied with ‘maha kumbabhishekam’ of a temple. The presiding deity at this temple is closed for public darshan in the wake of the balalayam and will be opened only after the ‘maha kumbabhishekam’ is performed.
Construction work of new rajagopuram on the eastern side will be taken up just after the maha kumbabhishekam. The ‘kalkaram’ structure alone will be consecrated as part of maha kumbabhishekam.
