LORD KRISHNA OF TRICHAMBRAM

ANTIQUITY

The legend takes us back to the earliest times when primeval forests enjoyed their heyday - everywhere tall green trees gave eternal shade to the Mother Earth by the sumptuous growth of, thick foliage, preventing even the penetration of a single ray of the Sun through them. Then a renowned sage by name Sambara attracted by the bounteous beauty of Nature and divinity of land, came here and did penance for years, propitiating Mahavishnu. 

When God asked him to mention his desire, he simply uttered Sayujyamukti - merging in God, and that alone releases man from the vicious circle of births and deaths. Thoroughly pleased with the highest evolution of his soul, God granted it anon. Though the sage attained oneness with God, his ethereal presence was felt by people and they were enjoying tranquility whenever they visited the spot, where the temple stands now. Once when Parasurama visited this place, he had a strange experience - he had a soul lifting vision of Lord Krishna after Kamsavadha. It was quite exulting and enchanting, for Krishna appeared in all his splendour after the Jagadoharanakarya killing of dushta Rakshasa Kamsa.
