Thirupalkadal Sri Krishna Swami Temple — Attraction in Kerala

Thirupalkadal SreeKrishna Temple (Thiruparkadal Sreekrishnaswamy Temple) is one of the oldest Hindu temples dedicated to the god Vishnu (Worshipped as Krishna), located in the village Keezhperoor, Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, India. The central icon is a four-armed standing Vishnu carrying the conch Panchajanya (Turbinella pyrum), the discus Sudarshana Chakra, the mace Kaumodaki and a lotus with a Holy basil garland. The principal deity, Krishna (Thirupalkadal Bhattarakar) was the family deity of Ay Family, who ruled over the place during the Sangam period. The kingdom and the family later came to be known as Venad Keezhperoor Swaroopam. In the early medieval Tamil literature canon of the Tamil Alvar saints (6th–9th centuries AD), the temple is one of the 108 principal Divya Desams ("Holy Abodes") in Vaishnavism, and is glorified in the Divya Prabandha. The Divya Prabandha glorifies this shrine as being among the 14 Divya Desam in Malai Nadu (corresponding to present-day Kerala and Kanyakumari).

Hari Om 🙏 This temple is considered as the 107th Divyadesam as per ancient history related to sacred temples on India. One of the heavenly place situated in the heart of the village called Keezhperoor. Most peaceful and heavenly place. Decades ago this was a sacred place where Mahamunis considered as one of the last and most powerful worship centre on Earth. Kulasekhara Azhwar restructured this temple and later this was known as the base of Venad Kingdom those who are Vishnu bhakthas. The temple is on reconstruction mode where as it was neglected and for long decades. The NSS union started further steps with the help of the Travancore Kingdom, native people and ardent devotees of Lord Narayana. It will be credited to our life if we visit this holly place and we spent a single penny for the further development of this temple. May God bless. Om Namo...
