srImathE rAmAnujAya namaha
srImadh varavara munayE namaha
When Siva offered a boon to Banasura, that whoever gets touched by him 
(banasura) will be burned, Banasura wanted to test the boon. So he 
tried to touch Siva himself to test. Out of fear Siva ran and 
surrendered to Vishnu to save him. Vishnu protected Siva by taking the 
Mohana avataram and appeared in front of Banasuran and mesmerised him 
to touch his head, by himself and he got burnt. This touching of siva 
is the posture in which He protected the surrendered siva.
Many of the present day saivaites, have added a flower in the photos 
(though this is not a case in thiruvananthapuram itself) to say that 
sri padmanabha swamy is worshipping Siva. 
"WELL THE TALES OF SAIVITES AGAINST VISHNU IS ALWAYS EVOLVING".
