A Spiritual Journey with Alleppey Boating
Ambalapuzha Sree Krishna Swamy Temple
The Ambalapuzha Sree Krishna Swamy Temple, located 14 km south of Alappuzha in Kerala, is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, depicted as Parthasarathi, the charioteer of Arjuna from the Mahabharata. Built between the 15th and 17th centuries by Chembakasserry Pooradam Thirunal Devanarayanan Thampuran, this temple showcases exquisite Kerala-style architecture with its Chuttambalam adorned with vibrant Dasavatharam paintings. It gained historical significance when the Guruvayoor Temple idol was safeguarded here during Tipu Sultan’s 1789 raid. Famous for its daily offering of Palpayasam, a delicious rice and milk pudding, the temple holds a legend of Krishna challenging a king to a chess game, leading to this enduring tradition. The temple also hosts the annual Arattu festival and the unique Ottanthullal art form
