Narasimhamoorthi give us a unbelievable protection n powerSudarsanamoorthi give lights in our thoughts

🙏🙏🙏The temple holds several Utsavams and festivals. In many of them members of the local community enthusiastically participate. The 9-day utsavam during the month of Thulam (October) is the most important festival.Valiyavilakku is celebrated on the Diwali day. It is said that one of the Arattu functions (holy bath before the closing ceremony) at the temple coincided with the birth of Sree Chithirathirunal Maharaja. This was a Valiavilakku festival when Amavasi (new-moon) and Diwali happened to fall on the same day.The temple also hosts one-day festivals in connection with Ashtamirohini, Dwadashi,Dhanu 1st, Thiruvathira,Makarasankranthi,Vishu and Pathamudayam ezhunallathu to Bhoothanilam Temple, in association with the local community. On the day of Pathamudayam, the idols of the two temples are taken out in a ceremonial procession till the spot where Sree Narasimamoorthy’s idol was first sighted.

Visited the temple for a marriage ceremony. Calm and pleasant atmosphere in the middle of the city. The authority wont allow you to wear footwear inside the premise. It is really difficult to walk barefoot in the hot Sun.

Thuravoor temple is located at thuravoor cherthala. Its well connected by road and its located in the national highway. Buses have got stop there. Its one of the rare temple and people visit there in huge numbers..Thusday is very important day.Heavy rush at this time. Crackers can be heard continuously. Its indeed a great experience to see the temple in full by walking all around it. Altogether its a great experience for the travellers here.

Thuravoor Mahakshethram is one of the most venerated places of worship in Kerala

Great temple

Beautiful , peacefully,& very festive place!!!!

Good

Unlike other popular temples which are crowded most of the time, Thuravoor temple is a place where you can enjoy its serenity due to its spacious ground and less crowd. Make no mistake that it will be the same throughout the day or perhaps the year because, on special days, it becomes really hard to get inside due to the crowd.

Peaceful surroundings..... very big pond is near to the temple.... we feel a new life when we entered the temple... good place and surroundings..... peoples are very friendly and helpfull

Feeling better

Excellent example of architectural style found in South India. Spacious, neat and clean. Good place to spend time

Well maintained and good ambient place

Blessing place

Awesome atmosphere

A fairly large and famous temple with a long history of immense importance.The original temple was a Devi temple.Now there are mainly 2 deities,one is Lord Narasimha called as Vadakkanappan by the natives and Lord Krishna called as Thekkanappan.Both have 2 different Sanctom Sanctorums and Flag hoisting pillars.In addition,6 more deities are workshipped.Main Pooja is Vedi Vazhipaadu for Narasimha.On 10th Day of first Malayalam month of Medam,they both visit SriBhoodanilam Temple which is seen as the origin place of Sri Vadakkanappan.Also,Diwali time is the festival time and sees mass participation too.

Fav Place 💟

An ancient Lord narasimha moorthy temple

This is an epicentre, where hindu scientific expertism can be felt. you go in with a wish, you will come out with an agenda. whatever positivity you feed in as a prayer, the deities will multiply it into a positive spiritual shower over you.. here, its not the religion thats working, but it is the magnificent ancient spiritual engineering that is working.. i believe in science.

Narasimhamorthy and Sri Narayanan🙏.. nice temple.. feel spiritual... spectacular to watch Deepawali

The best.

A serene temple along the side of National highway.This temple has two main dieties, and is famous for its festival which usually occurs during diwali.The festival here is so popular that the roads near this temple would have to be blocked during that period.Its altogether a peaceful place, unless during the festival and the place is huge with an equally huge pond.

Peaceful atmosphere

Best place to visir during off seasonThe temple has its own character that keeps visitors spend some time thereIts a great experience to spend time under those banyan treesWe wont even feel heat during a hot summer day

We often go here.. Feel good in the clean serene atmosphere, its liking talking to God directly.. Lord Narasimha, and Lord Krishna , grant your wishes for sure.

This temple quite among the folks. Diwali is their main festival. Large temple with large auditoriums and food area. The most important thing is the calm atmosphere

This temple has several religious festivals celebrated every year. The temple maintains certain standard Hindu religious rituals and only true faithful devotees receive the benefits.

Excellent place for worship, very calm and quite place.

Thuravoor Mahakshethram, an ancient Devasthanam located by the side of NH-66, approximately 25 km south of Kochi city, is the sacred abode of Lord Sree Narasimhamoorthy and Lord Sree Mahasudarsanamoorthy. The entire temple complex can be seen from the road.Two separate Sanctom Sanctoroms in close proximity - within the same compound - reflect the synthesis of a unique and mysterious divine power. The idol of Sree Narasimhamoorthy is said to have originated in the holy city of Kashi (Varanasi). Swami Padmapadar (8th century AD), the principal disciple of Adi Sankaracharya, had worshipped the very same idol at Kashi.Distinctive in its architectural and artistic grandeur, Thuravoor Mahakshethram is one of the most venerated places of worship in Kerala. Twin Sreekovils (Sanctom Sanctoroms) - one square and the other circular shaped - in a single Nalambalam, two gold-plated flagmasts that tower into the skies, a majestically tall Anapandhal (elephant rostrum, the largest in Kerala) and a strict regimen of observances of vrathas for the priests, days after days of rituals and festivals, chanting of Vedic hymns and presentation of learned discourses on Puranas throughout the year... all these attract streams of devotees to the temple from within and outside the state. Vedi - vazhivadu is one of the popular vazhivadu or offerings in the temple.Of the two temples here, it is believed that the one dedicated to Sudarsanamoorthy was the first to come into existence. Though there is no record of its origin, the temple is estimated to be over 1300 years old. There are scholars who hold that the circular-shaped Sreekovil belongs to the Thretha Yuga; according to others, its origin dates back to the Dwapara Yuga. Some palm leaf texts on the temple do exist, but nobody has yet been able to understand or decipher them.As for the Narasimhamoorthy temple, records do show that it came into being sometime in the 7th century AD, during the reign of a Chera king named Keralendran. His guru was the great Muringottu Adigal, a well-known Tulu Brahmin priest and scholar.Geographically, the temple site belongs to the formerly Princely State of Cochin. However, it subsequently came under the purview of Travancore State for certain political reasons. But this transition was subject to an important proviso: if a Travancore king were ever to set foot on the Mahakshethra soil, the temple would be immediately restored to Cochin. Therefore, for a long time, no Travancore king visited the temple. In 1951, with the merger of Travancore and Cochin and coronation of Sree Chithira Thirunal, the Maharaja visited the temple - the first time for a Travancore king to do so. He walked to the temple over a carpet to avoid stepping directly on the ground.Daily routine/rituals like puja, kazhagam are entrusted to some designated families. Even now also puja has to be carried out by five vaishnava Tulu Brahmin families, say Adukathaya (Adukkam), Kubanuraya (Konoor), Parakode, Khajanaya (Kasha)and Kadamannaya (Nallur) of Kasargode District of Kerala.Great seers and saints such as Jagadguru Sankaracharya of Sringeri - Sree Bharathi Theertha Swamigal, Jagadguru Sankaracharya of Kanchi - Sree Jayendra Saraswathy, Sankaracharya of Puri - Sree Adhokshajananda Swamigal, Uduppi Pejavar Math head - Sree Visweswara Theertha Swamigal and the Jiyar of Ahobilamath - Sree Sadagopa Narayana Yatheendra Swamigal - have all visited and experienced the spiritual and devotional grandeur of this fabled Devasthanam.

Excellent
