Kerala Trichambaram Temple | Trichambaram Temple Tour

Trichambaram Temple is situated 20 km from Kannur district of Kerala state, south India.

It is near Taliparamba town, famous for its spices trade.

The temple is believed to have got the name from Thiru Shambara or the holy shambara in reverence to Maharishi Shambara.

The deity of the temple is Krishna. The sculptures on the walls of the sanctum sanctorum are a class by themselves.

The temple also contains one of the most exquisite collection of mural paintings in south India.

Trichambaram Temple has three ponds attached to it, with the temple for Durga being surrounded by water on all sides.

The annual temple festival (Utsavam) is a colourful event.

The fortnight-long festival begins on Kumbham 22 of Malayalam calendar (which generally falls on March 6) every year with the kodiyettam (hoisting of a religious flag) and comes to an end on Meenam 6 (which generallay falls on March 20) with Koodipiriyal (Ending of this festival).

In between these dates, for 11 days, thitambu nriththam (a sort of dance with the deities of Krishna and Balarama) is held at Pookoth Nada (1 km from Trichambaram temple).

The annual festival held here in the Malayalam month of Kumbham (February – March) is attended by thousands of pilgrims from all over the state.

At this time the idol of Krishna's brother Lord Balram is brought from Dharmikulangara Temple at Mazhoor and they are said to play together at Trichambaram, before being separated again at the end of the festival.

The Kootipiriyal ceremony, held on the last day of the festival, represents the parting of the brothers Krishna and Balram.

Trichambaram Krishna Temple is believed to be built by Lord Parashuram, the mythological architect of Kerala, who had laid down the rituals, routine, worship and details of the annual festival. The temple is of great archeological importance. The sanctum sanctorum is double storied and has a pyramid shaped copper roof with a golden stupa (pinnacle) at the top.

The sanctum has beautiful carvings and murals which date back to the 15th and 16th centuries. The beautiful statues, mural paintings and the wood carvings illustrating scenes from Mahabharata, adorning the temple walls testifies the craftsmanship of the bygone days.
