    This is the famous Sreekrishna temple in Kerala, normally known as vadakkan Guruvayoor. The main deity is Lord Sreekrishna. Other deities are Durga Devi, lord Ayyappa. The main offering is neyvilakk and palppayasam. We can feel the divinity here. The Durga temple is surrounded with water.

    Great place. One should know the stories related to this temple before visiting. Then it will be an unforgettable experience. The durga temple inside a small pond, wooden carvings in the temple entrance, mural paintings in the sanctum wall etc are feast for eyes

    Trichambaram Temple, popularly also known as North Guruvayur, is an ancient Krishna temple. The Sanctum has carvings and murals that have been dated to the 15th C, or earlier. Lore has it that the temple is associated with Maharishi Shambara ('Thiru Shambara' ~ Trichambaram). The chief deity here is Sree Krishna, in a Raudra posture, immediately after vanquishing Kamsa ('Kamsa Vadham'). A couple of peculiar customs observed here reinforce this connection. The first is the practice of offering 'naivedyam' before pooja. It is rare that 'naivedyam' (an offering of food) is offered to the deity immediately upon opening the sanctum early in the morning, before any poojas. The belief is that Lord Krishna, exhausted after his fight with Kamsa, approached his mother Devaki asking for food, and the ritual of 'naivedyam' first and poojas next took root from that. [ To my knowledge there is one other Krishna temple in  south Kerala that follows such a practice-- the Thiruvarppu Sreekrishna Temple, located in a scenic village about 6-7 km due west of Kottayam. What makes the temple strangely unique are the rituals followed here. The Lord consecrated here is in the aspect immediately after the killing of Kamsa. The fight with the demon king zapped Him of all His energy and He is in a hungry state-- the reason why the temple opens at 2 am, much earlier than virtually all other temples. Immediately after "abhishekam" (ritual ablution), the Lord's head is dried and then he is offered "Usha Payasam", a sweet porridge. Only afterwards is he fully dried and clothed and poojas are done. His hunger pangs are so strong that the temple stays open even during eclipses (a time when temples all over remain closed) to see that he does not miss out on his early morning "naivedyam"-- a practice that is unique to the Thiruvarppu temple. Another feaure is that this is perhaps the only temple where it is permitted to offer "Pithru Tharpana", libation offered to dead ancestors. This is another feature that is followed in the Trichambaram temple too.] The second practice is unique too. As we all know, elephants are part and parcel of temple rituals all over Kerala. But at Trichambaram there is a prohibition on elephants being taken anywhere near the temple. Lore tells how Kamsa's royal elephant charged at Krishna and Balarama as they entered Kamsa's palace, intent on vanquishing him, and ever since the Lord had a strong aversion to elephants. Till this day this prohibition is observed to the letter. The temple also is famous among devotees as it is believed that libations offered to the departed souls ('Bali tharpana') here is the last word in ensuring  'shanti' and 'moksha' for the souls. From the East Gopuram a long flight of wide steps descend to the temple courtyard. In the temple yard there is an Elanji tree with an interesting story connected with it--though the tree regularly flowers, fruits do not appear, the result, it is believed, of the Lord's prohibition to protect a favoured devotee who was apparently allergic to Elanji fruits. While in the courtyard, the eye is caught by the Durga Bhagavathy temple at the north-east, uniquely located in the middle of a large pond. The two-storeyed main sanctum has a pyramidal roof with gables. There is an Ayyappa shrine in the south-west corner, while the Mulangeswaram Siva temple marks the north-west. At the north-east also there is a temple tank and traditional bath-house, which has fallen into disrepair. The main temple tank is at the south-west, with the Neerkottil Ganapathy temple on its south bank. The pond for offereing libations to the departed souls ('pindakkulam') is at the south-east. The temple has been maintained rather well, though unfortuntely, like in many other ancient temples, over-enthusiastic later additions of concrete and steel have marred the beauty and Vaasthu perfection of the ancient structures. It is high time the devotees became proactive about the preservation of these emblems of our cultural past.

    Thrichanbaram sreekrishna temple is situated at Thaliparambu, about 20 kms from Kannur.The main deity of the temple is Shree Krishna after "Kamsavadham", sitting in Raudra posture (ferocious posture). The sanctum has beautiful carvings and murals from the 15th and 16th centuries. In the temple complex, there is also a shrine dedicated to goddess Durga which is in middle of a tank. This temple is considered equal in status to the world-famous Guruvayoor Temple, and is also called 'North Guruvayoor'.

    Popularly known as Trichambaram temple, this Sree Krishna Temple in the Kannur district of Kerala Trichambaram temple is a Krishna temple located at Taliparamba in the kannur of Kerala, South India. The main deity of the temple is Krishna after "Kamsavadham", sitting in Raudra posture There is a general belief that this Vishnu temple was built soon after the Siva temple at Taliparamba in order to temper the fierceness of Siva. There is a special elanji tree. Which blooms with flowers but not with fruits. Actually it's cursed by Vishnu. There is a story related with saint who came to visit God. He was facing problem with skin disease. While resting under this tree, the fruits from the tree keep falling into saint which disturbs him. So God cursed tree not to grow fruits . It could be related to the legend that the royal elephant named Kuvalayapida charged toward Krishna and Balarama while they were entering the palace of Kamsa. Since this incident Krishna had developed hatred against elephants. Because of this Elephants are not allowed near Trichambaram Temple he annual temple festival is a fortnight-long event beginning on Kumbham Thitambu Nriththam ie sort of dance with the idols of Krishna and Balarama is held at Pookoth Nada. There are three ponds near this temple. The gods are Shiva, Ganapathi, Sastha, Vishvaksena and Snake deities near the temple complex. The sanctum has carvings and murals from the 15th and 16th centuries. In the temple complex there is also a shrine dedicated to Durga which is in middle of a pond. This temple is also called North Guruvayoor, since it is located to the north of Guruvayoor Temple. Darshan Timings: 05.00 AM - 12.00 Pm & 05.00 Pm - 08.00 PM People often come here to do puja related with after life
