ആറാട്ടു ഉത്സവം 2025 | അമേഡ ക്ഷേത്രം എറണാകുളം | Aarattu Utsavam 2025 | Ameda Temple Ernakulam
Lord Parasurama once travelling through the western coast of India, incidentally reached the place where the temple is presently situated. As usual he stepped into the lake for Sandhyavandana during sunset.
Then he saw a bright light at a distance Suddenly divine knowledge came to him that the origin of the light is Sapthamathrukkal who were travelling through the lake on the top of the tortoise. Meanwhile the tortoise had become unable to travel as the water had paved way for Lord Parasurama who was moving towards the centre of the lake. The place where the tortoise became standstill came to be known as Amaninnayidam and later on become Ameda. Lord Parasurama decided to construct a magnificent temple at the same place where the tortoise stopped its travel.
