Kaladi - Sri Krishna Ambalam

This much visited and greatly adored pretty Krishna mandir lying in close proximity to the Sringeri shine, has an exotic back ground. Realizing the physical debility of the aged mother to go to Purna river for daily bath, flowing a mile off his house, Sri Sankaracharya with his soul power diverted the course of the river to flowing near his house. When the old house-hold temple was washed by the river due to unexpected turn taken, a new temple was built. And this is that new one built some ten centuries back, enshrining the highly venerated Krishna image. On account of its antiquity coupled with unprecedented divinity, it is luring a steady stream of devotees throughout the year. All those who visit the holy Sankaracharya peetha pay visit to this old temple and offer prayers to Lord Krishna, who has been receiving ardent worship since Adi Sankara's installation. The icon is quite enchanting and the worship is offered with utmost devotional fervor.

This lies in the heart of Kaladi town of Kerala State, accessible by bus from Trichur.
