Pazhayar Sree Dharmasastha Temple
There is a very old temple in the pilgrimage site of Pazhayar Sree Dharmasastha . The statue there represents Ayyappan , a symbol of religious unity and social harmony. Lord Ayyappan is also known as Dharmasastha, Hariharasuthan, Manikantan, Saasthan, Sastha and Ayyanar. He is venerated in many places in India: in Kulathupuzha ( Kerala ) he is worshiped as a child, in Achenkovil together with his companions, Pushkala and Poorna, and in Sabarimala as an ascetic who meditates in solitude for all of humanity. The word Ayyappan is derived from two words: Ayya (i.e. Vishnu) and Appan (i.e. Shiva).
