#KeralaTemples 🚩

Kadappattoor Mahadeva Temple is a famous temple where Shiva is worshipped in Vigraha Roopam.
Sthala Puranam says that, once there lived a sage named Gauna Maharshi.He had a Kamandalu which was filled with👇

Water from the Saptha Nadhis.
He was waiting there to worship Sree Rama who was coming that way on his way to Ayodhya. But Gauna couldn't worship Sree Rama as he was surrounded by Vanaras. In anger, he threw away his Kamandalu, and the water which flowed down formed 👇
The present Gauna Nadi. Later, Shri Rama and Mata Sita gave their Darshan to Gauna Maharshi. Rama suggested that, Gauna Maharshi should continue his Tapasya and gave him a Shiva Vigraham. 👇
Gauna Muni started Tapasya and did Prathishta of Vigraham. Maharshi named the place as Kadapetta Ooru which now changed as Kadapattoor.
Shambo Mahadeva

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
