GURUPAVANAPURA

Being pleased, he gave life to the children. While returning. Arjuna brought a beautiful image of Krishna in sitting posture on the Adisesha with its outspread hood resembling umbrella over the head of the Lord. It was installed at Tripunithura, the fittest place for such august icon. And lo! the very same brahmin was made to officiate as the chief-priest, and his progeny is still enjoying the same post.  

At the time of installation, the region was over grown with sesame gathering a few seeds; Arjuna crushed and lighted the lamp with their oil. Since then using of gingeli oil for lamps is continued.

The temple celebrates with great éclat three annual festivals in Chingom, Vrichikam and Kumbham. They draw thousands and the piety a overflows as many of the special prayer services observed then.
