Dear Blessed Soul
Sri Markandeya Dharma Sastha Temple in kllampally street, vazhapally, fort, trivandrum, popularly known as kallampally sastha temple as you known, is an important famous and ancient temple in thiruvananthapuram. The uniqueness of temple is that inside the same main srikovil there are prathishtas of sastha and siva and also sivalinga in the right hand of sri sastha. The belief is that sastha is worshipping siva. The deity is known as markandeswaran on accountant of this. For the same reason sanidosha nivarana poojas like neeranjanam, saneeswara homam are found very effectively devotees. In addition the devi prathishta in rajarajeswari bhavam and ganapathy prathista for vignanivaranam add to the chaithanyam and importance of this temple. This ancient temple need urgent renovation. We are glad to renovation. We are glad to inform that as per the directions of the temple acharyas, it has been decided to start the renovation includes the reconstruction of the upadevalayas and punaprathishta of sri.devi and ganapathy vigrhas, new navagra prathishta, ashtabanda kalasa connected with renovation and kumbabhishekam.

Legand of the Temple
The different methods of worship and concept of god, the ultimate reality, preventing in kerala temples are unique admirable and wonderful. The kallampally sastha temple is a typical example for this. The sastha deity in the center of the srikovil is having sivalingam in the right hand, the right foot is bent left foot is bent and leaving a belt to the side. This is a sreekovil where the deity is in Dyanasanam (Meditation Pose). The prathista here can be said to be a very rare one generally in the right hand abhaya mudra is seen. But here dharma sastha is having siva linga in right hand.which is in prapanja bhava. This sastha is known as markandeya sastha having controlled the prapanja sakhi in the eye, and having the shade of nagadeva’s five goods on the fiery eye is the appearance of this lingam. This sivalingam represents the vast and limitless sakthi. Perhaps this is all comprehensive fully manifestation of sivam. Another sivalingam is also inside the sreekovil which is prapanja purusha roopa and which is protected by five goods of a serpant and which represents the panchendriyas. Here the sastha deity also worship this siva bhava. Here the vahana of sastha is elephant. It is considered that this temple is older than the temple of sri padmanabha. Not only that, in divine power and chaithanya sri dharma sastha here stood first. According to potty of Nethaseri Mana who owned this temple. According to a legendery strory told by sri. Krishnan potty of Nethassery Mana, the power of sri. Markandeya Sastha is indicated as follows. The prathista of sri. Padmanabha Swamy could not be made firm and it was realized that there was a more strong saiva chaithanyam in the area. That was why the vigraha prathishta could not be done. Further probe revealed that the mahasakthi is that of markandeya sastha. Then sastha preethi was performed for 41 days and after knowing the full consent of the saiva chaithanya only the prathista could be made firm satisfactorily.

Siva chaithnyam
It is believed from ancient times that through bhajana at this temple, sanidosha could be wiped out. The main reason for this is that sastha bhajan and siva bhajana are best solution for sanidosha. The two powerful sivalingas in srikovil and kaliyuga varada sri dharma sastha are giving aiswarya to persons worshipping and through their grace all sanidoshas would vanish. So here saniswara homam, kiratharchana, Neerajanam and Pradosha abhishekam would drive away sanidosha.
Devi Chaithanyam
In kallampalli sri dharma sastha temple, Devi chaithanyam is in Sri Rajarajeswari Bhava. The present vigraha is made of wood. Rajarajeswari Devi in this temple is bestower of all auspiciousness, all prosperity mangalya dayaki, vindya dayaki, and remover of all trobles. So the offering to devi of silk cloth (Pattu), bangles, thali and performing of raktha pushpanjali archana, swayamvararchana, powrnami pooja, Bhagavath Seva, are efficacious, asserts the perfoms who were benifitted. The poojas and bhagavathi seva in “Adi” month (karkitakam) and during navarathri are very important to devi.

{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Willking1979 (talk) 18:18, 28 December 2009 (UTC)Speedy deletion nomination of Markandeya Sastha edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Markandeya Sastha requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
