Thamaramkulangara Sree Dharma Sastha Temple, Hindu temple in Tripunithura, Ernakulam district, India
Thamaramkulangara Sree Dharma Sastha Temple is a sanctuary in Tripunithura with a layout showing traditional Kerala architecture and design. The grounds contain several shrines where different deities receive worship, including dedicated spaces for Nagaraja and Ganesha among others.
Originally managed by Morakkala Mana, the temple came under the control of the Maharajah of Cochin during the 1930s. This transition brought extensive building work and new financial support for the sanctuary's ongoing operation.
The temple holds particular significance for worship of Bhadrakali, a goddess important to local Kerala spirituality. Visitors often notice the rhythmic chanting and rituals that form part of daily religious practice here.
The temple opens early for morning worship and again in the evening, offering two main visiting windows throughout the day. Visitors should keep in mind that religious services take priority and clothing should respect local customs.
Local tradition tells that Lord Dharma Sastha arrived at this place as a lizard traveling on a palm leaf. This unusual story shapes how the location is remembered in regional narratives and remains part of local memory.
