    It was very crowded in the morning. Parking is difficult inside the temple. Need to park outside the compound. Have to wear traditional dhothi if you need to go inside the temple. Best part is you can break coconut outside. There is a huge place devoted for that. Entry permitted inside the temple only between 6 and 7.30 am in the morning. Outside Darshan is available from outside in the morning and evening. Best prasadam is unniappam. But advance booking needs to be done atleast 15 days in advance. I booked on 19th October and got date for 31st October

  • 4/5 ANOOP A. 3 years ago on Google
    Famous Ganapathy temple in Ernakulam. Good atmosphere and positive vibes without doubt. Due to covid darshan available from outside only. Darshan time morning 5.30 to 7.30(I saw it in the board). Car and bike parking available and it is fine with normal occasions. Two entrances are there. One from front and it is the normal one, from backside it is allowed but it is private road. If you going to write receipt (cheettu) for any prasad, it will take long time. The writer is taking lot of time to write your name and star (First I thought he was writing an essay). Overall good ambience and experience.

    The sanctuary is open from Mon-Sun 05:00 AM to 07:30 AM. Unusually, there are confinements to going by times. Devotees are permitted into the sanctuary in the morning just between 5.00 to 7.30 AM. Since it is their family sanctuary, the individuals from the Edappally Royal family adore Lord Ganesha after 7.30 AM. At evenings, the sanctuary is kept open for all.

    I recently visited Ganapathi Temple and it was an amazing experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was filled with a sense of calm and inner peace. The atmosphere is quiet and powerful, yet peaceful. This temple is definitely worth visiting if you are looking for a place to seek solace and peace of mind.

    It is believed that Lord Ganesha, the remover of all obstacles, resides in Edapalli. The temple is located in the palace of the erstwhile royal family. Calm and cool place with devotional ambiance.

    A old temple in the erstwhile palace ..There is a special bright aura around the idol, we get a quick look of the idol during the arathi, Aarthi time is fixed, so people reach during that time.. It's calm, cool and refreshing atmosphere there.. Enough car parking facility, sine it's a huge compound.. There is a nag push tree, forgot to click pics, since I was carrying my grandchild.. Mahaganapati gives his blessings..

  • 5/5 Krishna Priya R. 11 months ago on Google
    A very old temple belonging to Edapally thampuran. Elangallor swaroopam. This temple is located inside the edapally palace. Only the palace people got the chance to get inside the temple before. Now it is open to all till 8am in the morning. After that we can view the Deity from outside the grill. Entrance from 2 sides only in the morning. Ample car parking. Main offering is coconut and koottappam which is really yummy... Kids play with the pigeons there. There are many coming to feed them.

    Edapally Ganapathy Temple is a place of great significance for devotees seeking the removal of obstacles and difficulties. The temple's unique traditions and historical importance make it a must-visit, offering a unique and enriching experience for anyone interested in Kerala's rich culture and spirituality. The beautifully crafted idol of Lord Ganesha and the serene atmosphere create a spiritual ambiance that leaves a lasting impression. I highly recommend a visit to this temple if you're in the area.

    Very Serenity is to stay with you for a long time if you visit Sree Ganesha. Very silent and fully surrounded by greenery. One of the important offering is breaking of coconuts to get positive energy and blessing from Sree Ganesh. Our family does the Vahana pooja, every time we buy a vehicle. I chanted my prayer to protect all the vehicles. And I recommend this pooja to all my friends and family. Our New Brezza got blessings from Sree Ganesh.

  • 5/5 Ajay 9 months ago on Google
    I frequently visit this temple When I am here and leave, I always have a pleasant positive energy in myself. We can only enter the sanctuary between 5.30 am and 8am, the sanctuary will be closed for public from 8am onwards But we can pray from outside. Also the males are allowed to enter by wearing only mundu (garment resembling a dhoti, worn around the waist in Kerala). The people here offers coconut (also breaks it as part of rituals) and kootappam to ganapathi. The kootappam are so yummy Also the kootappam are obtained only after we are booking it priorly.

    This temple was recommended by someone I met during my visit to Chottanikara Bhagwathy temple. This temple is basically located in someone's personal premise but open to public. Didn't take any pic , as such it is prohibited. Afterall lord Ganesha is same everywhere, why take a pic? ( Well, I am telling myself!) Praying him to bless me and everyone who pays visit to him

    An awesome place to be we don't care what your religion is as we researched about the Lord he is like the creator who shaped your brain systems. A cure for all mental health programs. Pull your left ear lobes with right hand and the right with your left hand and cross your feet. Then do a semi sqat half sit ups while pulling these ear lobes. Within 15 minutes you will be bright as the morning SUNSHINE

    It's always a spiritual experience to go to Sri Maha Ganapathy Temple early morning. The sound of pigeons, doves and other birds along with the bells and incense smell always gives a positive vibe. It is always better to visit early morning say around 7a.m.
