LORD KRISHNA OF TRICHAMBRAM

THE TEMPLE

The small but sublime shrine of Trichambaram comparatively, was compared to a rose by a great devotees, for its special spiritual fragrance emanating from its hoary antiquity. The singularity of this shrine lies in its plan. The Srikoil is square in shape has a huge mandapa just in front of it. The two-storeyed main shrine is adorned with a projecting gable on the front of the lower roof. The pyramidal roof has four projecting gables and a shining Kalasam atop. 

The walls of the Srikoil are beautified with mural paintings and wood carvings. They illustrate several episodes from Bhagawata and other scriptures. Another worth seeing object in the campus is the Durga shrine built in the central part of a pond lying to the north of the main entrance. The tank is held in high esteem; for, it has mystical powers. It never goes dry - the water level remains same in all seasons.
