Sree Krishna Swami Temple, Thodupuzha, Hindu temple in Thodupuzha, India.
Sree Krishna Swami Temple stands at the center of Thodupuzha on the banks of Thodupuzhayar river, displaying traditional Kerala architecture with stone details and ornate carvings. The shrine is surrounded by a larger temple complex with auxiliary structures and open courtyard spaces.
Local records indicate the original temple was built during the exile of the Pandava brothers, with Nakula credited as its founder. The site thus carries links to ancient Indian traditions and epic narratives.
The temple is dedicated to Krishna, depicted here as Navaneetha Krishna holding butter in his hand. This image guides the daily worship and creates a focal point for visitors seeking spiritual connection.
The grounds are easily accessible on foot with open areas allowing free exploration outside prayer times. Visitors should note that opening times expand during religious festivals and special occasions.
The grounds contain a garden of medicinal plants used during a special ceremony in May for preparing Ayurvedic medicines. This connects ancient healing practices directly to the religious life at the site.
