chelamattom temple

chelamattom temple

This is a very popular temple in Kerala where one can find Maha Vishnu and Narasimhar sannadhi side by side. There are 2 separate sanctum though internally connected and I noticed a well in between the 2 deities. The temple is typical Kerala style temple and the gods were decorated in Sandal paste on the day I had darshan. The Alankaram of Marasimmar was note worthy as I could see the Lord smile through the decoration.

It is believed Lord Vishu gives Vaikumdam to those dead in this temple. The river flowing near this temple is where people offer Pithru Karma for their ancestors ideally.

Loved the sun setting glittering in the river flowing in this region and the temple is situated in the banks.
