Sree Padmanabhaswamy
The marvelous idol of Sree Padmanabhaswamy is seen reclined on the mighty five hooded serpent Anantha.
The Idol is made up of a highly complex amalgam termed Katusarkarayogam and contains within it 12008
Salagramas collected from the bed of the River Gandaki in Nepal. It is believed that Salagramas represent Lord Vishnu.
Twelve Salagramas when worshipped together gain the potency of a Mahakshetram(Great Temple).
Thus the mighty Ananthasayana Moorthy here gains the greatness and sanctity of a thousand Mahakshetrams.
