Sree Raktha Kandha Swamy Temple Omalloor, the very first place of worship at Omalloor region was founded during the 8th Century. Although many religions in the world there is only one God the Almighty for all and among major world religions it is amazing that Hindu religion is the only one without a founder that is an amazing Foundation of the Almighty.
