People at work

They used to refer Vedas and Upanishads and use our artistic creativity while making handcrafted Idols. The creative ideas emerged in the minds of craftsmen are then depicted on wax using hands. Using natural tools they make designs of the final product on the wax.

The wax model is then covered in four layers of clay and allowed to dry. This four layered mould is heated in a furnace to remove the wax, leaving cavity of the wax model. Melted Panchaloha metal is poured into the mould and it takes the shapes of the wax model. After cooling minimum of 6 hours, the outer mould is broken and then Panchaloha Idol is ready for final finishing work and polishing.

Lord Rajarajeswara is believed to bless Kanjirangad temple by his holy presence on these days. All sundays are important for darshan in this temple, but Sundays falling on the 6th of the Malayalam month are considered more auspicious for worship. It is believed that the temple tank has three wells full of herbs and a dip in the holy tank would cure of all the diseases.The drinking water served in side the temple should not be boiled as it may lose its herbal properties.
