Kethu Bhagavan
Keezhperumpallam sthala varalaru, dosham and remedial
measures
This place is also called Vanagiri. Kethu prayed to
Naaganaadhaswami and was blessed and rid of his sins by Lord
Siva. It is rare to find Kethu with his head. At this sthala,
he can be seen worshipping Naaganaadhaswami with his folded hands
held high. Rahu after taking nectar was torn by Lord Narayana.
The head portion joined with a snake body and became Rahu
Bhagavan. The body portion that was thrown away fell in Pothigai
mountain region. This was found and preserved by a Brahmin. The
body grew, because of having nectar and the head of a snake got
attached to the body to become Kethu. Kethu Bhagavan has the
head of a snake and the body of an asura.
