Sri Krishna Temple

The attraction of this temple is the grand deity of Lord Sri Krishna. The temple small in comparison than the other south Indian temple is entered through the east direction. The eastern gateway is known as the Bholoka Vaikuntham and is the main entrance to the temple. The other enclosures contain a 110 ft high gold plated dwajastambam or flag ship. To both side of the flag post are the pillars of lamp providing a spectacular view at night with its circular receptacles.

In the center of the temple is located the central shrine called the Shikoli. The Shikoli holds the sanctum santorum where the main deity of Lord Krishna is placed. The wall portrays the early life and past times of the Lord. The Nalambalam encircles the inner sanctum having the altar. The southern part consists of the mystery cell believed to preserve the jewels and ornaments well protected by the serpents Panchanagas. The courtyard is termed as Matilakan and the temple tank is called the Rudra titha. Next to the tank lies the shrine by the name of the goddess Edatharikathu kavil bhagavati.
