TRICHAMBARAM KRISHNA TEMPLE |
|
|
| It is not known
whether the temple came into existence in Dwaparayuga or Kaliyuga. There is a general
belief that this Vishnu temple was built soon after the Siva temple at Taliparamba in
order to temper the fierceness of Siva. As in the
case of several other temples in Kerala, Parasurama is also credited with the construction
of this temple. When he came to Trichambaram he had the wonderful vision of the Lord
after annihilating Kamsa -probably the same vision which Sambara Maharshi had earlier.
After constructing the temple Parasurama laid down the pooja routine and stipulated the
different festivals to be observed in the temple. |
