Sree Seetha Devi Lava Kusa Temple

Kerala: Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will visit the Sree Seetha Devi Lava Kusa Temple and Valliyoorkavu Temple on today. 

Congress leader will also inaugurate several projects and attend foundation stone laying ceremony at Elstone Estate.

The Sree Seetha Devi Lava Kusa Temple at Pulpally in Wayanad district has a unique position among the temples of Kerala, and it is also among the rarest temples in India, for it is one of the only known temples to have installed deities of Lava and Kusha, children of Sree Rama and Seetha Devi, with active worship continuing. 

The legend of Sita, and her children Lava and Kusa is closely linked to this temple. It is believed that even the name Pulpally is connected to the bed of grass (Dharbha) on which Lava is believed to have played as a child.
