M.N. thank you for sharing this. As to the Melmalaiyanur Temple, what is the significance of the cobra represented arching over the statue? I also noticed something that appears to be a serpent painted on the ground where the fire-walking was later to take place. I am unfamiliar with this belief system. Is this related to the nagas, or some other mystical serpent?
yes Archosaur.
naga worship is traditional.
Hinduism praise naga worship.
