Ananthapura Lake Temple, Hindu water temple in Kasaragod district, India
The temple rests in the center of a lake with stone walls and traditional Kerala architecture featuring wooden ceilings and detailed carvings.
The temple dates back to the 9th century when a sage named Vilvamangala established it after encountering a divine serpent during meditation.
Devotees gather during Vishu and Onam festivals to perform specific rituals and offerings to Lord Ananthapadmanabha, a form of Vishnu.
The temple complex maintains feeding areas where visitors can provide food to the numerous fish living in the surrounding lake waters.
The temple contains a sacred stone platform called the Balikkallu, located before the entrance, which represents an important ritualistic significance.
