Kanipura Sri Gopalakrishna Temple at Kumble is an ancient temple and is situated eight miles due north of Kasaragod town. According to local religious beliefs, the Krishnashila Idol of the Lord, which was worshipped by Lord Krishna's foster mother Yashoda, is believed to have been presented by the Lord himself to sage Kanva Maharshi in Dwaparayuga, who in turn installed the same at its present location where the temple exists.
Historical records state that in the 10th Century, the Temple was renovated by
King Jayasimha of Kadamba Danasty, whose capital was Kumbla and even the administration of his
Kingdom was being done in the name of Kanipura Sri Gopalakrishna. The coronation of Kumbla Rajas
was solemnized at Kanipura Sri Gopalakrishna Temple. It is said that Sree Gopalakrishna Temple has
the sanctity of over three Yugas of Treta, Dwapara and Kali Yug. The temple was established by
Maharshi Kanwa. Believers ascribe to the temple the same sanctity and holiness as that of Sri Krishna
Temple at Guruvayoor and also to that of Sri Krishna Temple situated at Udupi in Karnataka.
Kumble Bedi 2025 | Sree Gopalakrishna Temple Kanipura Kasargod
The festival at the Kumbla temple which lasts five days
commences with Dhwaja Arohanam on the Makara
Sankramana day every year. The festival comes to an end
with the idol coming back after being dipped in the pond
about three kilometers from the temple premises and the
holy flag (Kodi) coming down. The festival came to be
known as Kumble Bedi because of the display of crackers
done in front of the idol. The fireworks extend to almost one
and half hours. People from different parts of North Kerala
and South Canara assemble for the festival. "Bali" is the
typical way of carrying the idol overhead of a poojary. Who
goes around the temple with the idol decorated with flower
and ornaments which is never to be too light. The poojary
moves as per the taala of chendamelam and vadyam. First
he moves with one of his hands supporting the idol on his
head and the other hand swinging. In the end he removes
the support and moves quickly around the temple.
