Make way for the god is coming!

Kandakarnan[(vernacular Ghanta Karnan , Ghanta (bells) and Karna (ears)] was a great devotee of Lord Shiva. For him Lord Shiva was the only God. He hung bells in his ears to prevent him from hearing Lord Vishnu's name being said. Hence he was called Kandakarnan. The story highlights the relation and unity of both the Gods, Saivism (followers of Lord Shiva) and Vaishnavism (followers of Lord Vishnu) and explains that there should be no racism among the religion. It brings out the poignant theme that all forms of Gods are manifestations of the same God.
