TRICHAMBARAM KRISHNA TEMPLE |
|
|
The srikoil is
meaningful and beautiful for its mysterious interior 'and exterior carvings below the
roofs, but also for murals that date from the 15th and 16th centuries. These represent an
early stage of surviving wall paintings in Kerala."
A little to the north of the main entrance to the temple there is a little pond of about
30 square feet at the centre of which there is a Durga shrine facing west. This tank
is considered a holy Tirtha and hence no one is permitted to take bath in it. The
water level remains always the same; it neither increases during the rainy season or
decreases during summer. At night it looks enchanting with the oil lamps lit around
the temple reflected in its water. |
