A slightly unique experience. Pigeons are one of the main highlights 🕊️. There are a lot of pigeons all over here. Earlier I used bring wheat and feed it to pigeons. They used to sit on my hands, head, shoulders, but now I dont know why they dont encourage it. Even not allowing to take any photographs of the place 😰. They are so strict, that they even scolded me 😖🤦🏻‍♀️. Temple is so spacious. A conveniently large parking space is provided by the temple and is always crowded with people whenever I visit 🤷🏻‍♂️. I think the best time to visit the palace is during early mornings. Dressing code is also there I guess. But when I visited no one really seemed to follow it. Trousers, jeans, lungi, pants, shirts are not allowed inside the temple. Dhoti and mundu (traditional wear) are to be worn as per temple rules. Coconut, oil, ghee, lemon garlands etc are available to purchase from the temple itself. And if lord Genesha finds you as lucky, you might get uniappams! 🤪

Lord vignesha(Ganapathy) deity resides here,devotees visit this temple to seek fulfillment for removal of obstacles and difficulties.You can see a pigeon house, a special tree flowering, coconut smashing here.Lord is offered Coconut, Pushpanjali, Niramala, Chuttuvilakku, Udayasthamana pooja.Special Koottappam is available on advance booking. Floral and lemon garlands, ghee, oil are made available in the temple itself for convenience.Please see the pics.

What I liked most is the best ambience present in the area .and the neyyappam offering is one of the best

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.

Calm place for worship.Edappalli Maha Ganapathy temple is a private temple of Edappalli swaroopam (Royal family). But, public can have darsan and offerings here. In the morning devotes can reach near the Sreekovil upto 7.30 am only. This is situated in the heart of the city. But the place is calm and free from disturbing noises. Surrounded by lot of trees, the atmosphere is greeny. Facade, murals in the front wall etc are very attractive and elegant. Appam prasadm is famous. But, you have to book for this offering in advance.

A wonderfully serene spacious Ganesha temple. Excellent option for vehicle poojas in Ernakulam.

Very peaceful atmosphere and divine place

A very popular temple dedicated to lord Ganesha at Kochi. Its a part of royal palace and of open to public only for a certain period of time and gets closed when any member of royal family comes. Its architecture is also slightly different from other temples. Very holy ambience and gives great mental peace. They have done up the parking space at the temple quite nicely.

I like it Very peaceful also powerful

Ancient Ganpati Temple. The temple gives off good, positive vibrations. Its believed that if you wish for whatever you desire with a clean heart your wish is fulfilled. The only thing I did not like was that you can see the idol from afar.
