There is an old age home for Gods in Kerala and it's full
Are once passionately worshipped temple deities being abandoned?
At Udayamperoor village in Ernakulam district, I am guided to the famous Ameda temple easily. A huge ‘Ootupura’ where people are fed every day welcomes me and a temple stands right at the centre of the property.
So what is unique about this temple? Apart from the idol at the Sanctum Sanctorum, there are hundreds of thousands of idols lined up through the temple. I can spot them everywhere - on the walls, on the ground, alongside the pathways, under trees and wherever I turn.
Most of the idols are not visible at a glance, as surrounding shrubs and entwining plants cover them. But a closer look reveals that there are idols in every nook and corner
