On the way back from the dam, we visited Kallekulangara Bhagavathi Temple. The idol in this famous temple is a pair of hands. I have heard that it was during a visit to this temple that the late PM Mrs Indira Gandhi got the inspiration to adopt palm as the symbol of the Indian National Congress party.
