VADAKKUMNATHAN TEMPLE, THRISSUR

I always had a strong devotion to lord shiva....the protector...during my one year stay at thrissur....the most frequently visited place was vadakkumnatha temple which is in the heart of thrissur city....every time  feel like thrissur is living around this temple.....east..west..north..south.....thrissur is around vadakkumnathan and thekkinkadu maithanam......

Thrissur is always so special for me...... i got my best friends for life from thrissur....from prof pc thomas classes...my virus....alexander, tony,johns,gijo,sebin vidya and priyanka.....and i got my brother in law from thrissur... vishnu chettan...my sissy found her love there...so all together thrissur is my favourite place and vadakumnathan temple owes a prior position in that...

So about the temple..legends says temple was constructed by lord parasurama.....read the legendary story here..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadakkunnathan_Temple. The his world famous thrissur pooram is conducted in front of this temple. the favourite place i like in this temple is koothambalam..which is believed to be constructed by the architectural legend perumthachan of parayi petta panthirukulam so it is believed that the temple and koothambalam is 1300 years old....which clearly sets the magic of typical kerala architecture.The original idol is not seen if we look ..because its covered with ghee....of abhishekam over centuries.... read about pooram herehttp://thrissurpooramfestival.com/temples.html....
