A very old temple in Thiruvananthapuram dedicated to Lord Parasurama (Maha Vishnu incarnation) specially famous for the pithru bali that is conducted there. It's just off the highway and cannot be missed. Parking can be a serious problem if you don't get there early enough: we really struggled. You first have to take the relevant tokens by paying the respective fees for the rituals that you're planning to do: no prior intimation is required. You can simply go there on the day and join in. The rates are different for maasa bali, aandu bali etc. Once the tokens have been purchased, you can go directly to the hall where the rituals take place. The only thing we need to keep with us other than the token is the kindi which can be collected from a huge uruli. You will be expected to wait outside the ritual hall while the previous set of people are doing their rituals. There is no queue as such and when the previous batch completes the process and leave, it's a mad rush for the new set of people to scramble in and find a seat. The hall is narrow and long with people squashed against one another sitting in two rows facing each other. During the pandemic, this sort of arrangement is seriously not advised despite people wearing masks. The rituals are well explained and are over in about 30 minutes. Different people will do rituals slightly differently depending on the tokens they've taken. After completion, you first have to go to the bali stones (9 of them in total) where the ball of rice sesame seeds, flowers etc have to be distributed amongst them. You proceed in a single file starting from the first stone until the last bits of the rice ball are strewn across the final stone. Then you proceed to the pond and discard the plantain leaf and other remaining items. Finally, you attend the thila homam, get the prasad and pray at all the various shrines. The rituals previously used to be conducted outside. I would have liked to see that continue at least until the pandemic has subsided: don't understand why it is now allowed to be conducted inside which is more stuffy and of higher risk for transmission of germs / viruses.

Wow... Great Place of Heritage that acts as a Stone to KERALA. One should definitely visit this place. You will really feel a great peace inside this place because of the environment. New cultures are really superb to process, understand, watch and follow if needed ! Cons: 1. Certain Priests (Only Few people i saw were trying the Racism Discrimination at times even inside the temple trying to dominate the others who are from different states. Need to be little cautious. 2. Language, if known is an added advantage. A must visit place!

Busy yet radiant atmosphere. One of the preserved heritage sites of ancient Keralite history. Parking can be difficult during rush hours in early morning.

Divine ambience. The staffs there are friendly. Went there for my father's rituals, I'm fully satisfied with the guidance they provided while doing the rituals. Must visit for the rituals of departed loved ones.

All karmis and thanthris are gud. Giving Full Concentration and mantras in bali pooja. Not much money motiv. Good atmosphere. Parasurama vigraha looks sooo pretty🙏🌹

This temple is very famous for performing after the death of a human being for his Moksha and consequent ascendance to svarga (heaven). Bali/Karmam, thilahomam and all related rituals of after death is being performed by priest of the temple. We can also perform disposal of ashes (asthi nimanjan) in this temple. It's clean and organized. No one will loot money from you as it's under the Govt of Kerala. The temple is busy most of the days and become really busy on amavasi (vavu in Malayalam) and on star Thiruvonam every month. It become really crowded on amavasi in karkidaka month.

People from distant places come here for performing bali for their dead ancestors. This temple conducts this ritual everyday. Experienced priests will guide us throughout the ritual.

Oldest and only temple in Asia dedicated to Lord Parasuramar. Balitharpanam is one of the important rituals here. They are doing this ritual from 6 am to 10am. It could have been better if some instructions are displayed in English.

Historic temple. The temple has two kodimarams, tell that this must have been very important temple for a long time..Hundreds, if not thousands visit this temple daily to perform rituals for their dead forefathers. Consequently the stream close to the temple is dirty. But the temple itself is clean, organised and punctual with offerings.

Quiet, peaceful ambience, better for spiritual bliss

It is a historic temple. It gives you the medieval period vibes. The tenple is build with rocks, I think. It is small. But only suggestion, that they could have done a better job at maintaining it. In terms of cleanliness, I would give them a low rating. The temple pond was covered with water weeds.

Great place to perform last rites of deceived people. Used to be very crowded in the morning. Toilets were not clean and the facilities were average.

A place where our lovely people who were close to our heart are remembered in witness of Lord Parasuram. Younger generations can definitely improve their positions by this thanks giving ceremony. A temple one cannot forget in our life time. Let us open many more temples across the nation to keep our rich traditions alive

This state is considered the land of lord shri Parashurama(none other than Sriman Narayana). One of the beautiful temple for Parasurama in kerala. Lord here is decorated beautifully, vibrant and auspicious temple, close to Anantha Padmanabha swamy temple. Ample parking facilities and temple is neatly maintained by Travancore devasam board. Must visit and get the blessings of Lord Note : You could find another beautiful temple for Parashuram at Udupi(near pajaka shetram)

A very quiet temple of Lord Parasurama. And Lord Hanuman. Surrounded by greenery all around.

Great ambience. The "Bali" mandapam and the rituals followed are something special to see. The rituals there are performed on a daily basis by a very knowledgeable priest. Though he corrects you for silly mistakes he is the right man to mentor and make you do the rituals 100% right. The entire temple premises and surrounding areas can be kept a bit more clean by officials.

Very ancient temple. The aura around the Lord Parasurama statue is very peaceful. For men, you need to follow a dress code before visiting the temple. Mens need to wear dhoti.

The one and only Parashuraman temple in Kerala, who is the 6th avatar among the Dasavathara. It is very close to the highway between trivandrum and Kovalam. It has been protected by the Kerala government as the oldest temple monument structure. A very energetic and positive vibe can be felt when reached here.

The place has an unparalleled aura of divinity. There are some strict timings and dress code. Also the entry is available for only Hindus. No electronics are allowed inside temple premise not even smart watches. Mundus are given in rent. There are special passes available at different rates and they will make your que shorter.

Famous for after death rituals. A great experience. Infrastructure need to be improved. Specially on rainy days. Also if You are driving your car there then be prepared for the tiresome process of finding a place to park. All the empty spaces even the main roadsides are also occupied. There is no designated parking place. Other than that a great place to do after death rituals.

Very horrible experience. We had to buy individual tickets of 500rs which common man can't afford. This is a very strange condition for trivandrum folks. Paying 500rs to meet our god. Government should take effective measures like extending the darshan times.

This is known as the southern Kashi, a temple that dates back a couple of centuries. On one side it's a proper temple, but it's famous for people to come and offer "bali" a ritual to pray for the departed soul. The bali starts as early as 5Am and goes up to around 8.30 AM. On crowded days , parking can become a huge issue and you might have to park up alongside the national highway.

Very old temple of parasurama on the banks of Tiruvallam river.floor,wall,roof, everything made of solid rock blocks.people come here to offer prayers and certain rituals for their forefathers.should come here at morning 4.30 if you to want to offer rituals.

A temple to be visited by everyone. Very Old temple which is well maintained by TDB. Parking area is limited. Food is provided by authorities from morning to evening and no-one will remain hungry in front of Sri Parasurama.

The one and only parasuram temple in kerala..

Best place to give pinda dharpanam to ancestors and parents. The staff members and the priest were very kind. Kindly arrive at the place by 06:00am itself to complete formalities. No rituals is performed after 11:00am.

I think that's the only Parashurama Temple in Kerala. That's a very old temple and we really liked it. The temple will be so crowded up to 6 km outside the temple during the karkidakavavu bali. During our visit also people were doing bali rituals there.

Peaceful temple to visit. The temple is well known for its after death ceremonies. Temple will be crowded almost everyday especially in morning times when the ceremony starts. Charges are 75 and 50 for thilahomam and whatever you have can be given inside to the priest who conducted the ceremony after it's done. Ceremonies starts from 6:30AM.

This temple is worldwide only one temple is there in Kerala Parshuram Temple very good nice temple side Pamba river full water falls this Temple special is prasadam payasam chakkara Pongal

Temple is a good visit. More a monument than a temple. Energy wise also, you will have a refreshing* experience here

It's a traditional temple for ritual programmes. My father and myself attended my grand grandmother death ceremony programme at Shri Parasurama Temple, we are very surprised that huge number of people were attending to take contribution for their passed relatives. Unfortunately we didn't get separate section for Brahmin. Apart that everything is fine.
