The chiefamong them a certain Njallal Namboothiri was prepared to stop the pooja in the noon. At that time the Nivedyawas used to be placed in the westernside of the Namaskara Mandapa.

The Njallal Namboothiri after keeping hisapron (Randam Mundu) above the westerndoor came near the Nivedyas and spat the remains of his betel chewing on theNivedya.(Do a numpoothiri with all costs coulddo it?) So the pooja was disrupted. On return, while he was taking his apron fromthe door top it is stated that a highlypoisonous snake bit him to death. He crawled himself outside the west and died. The Western door of the temple courtyardautomatically closed itself then and a voice was heard from inside theSreekovil thus “This door should not beopened any more”.
