മഹോത്സവം 2025 | ശ്രീ ചക്രപാണി ക്ഷേത്രം കാസർകോട് | Mahotsavam 2025 | Sree Chakrapani Temple Kasargod
Chakrapaani (Lord Vishnu wielding the discus) - symbolises the great story of 'Gajendra Moksha', supposed to have taken place in the nearby Lotus tank, which is full of lotuses on certain seasons even today.
Once believed to be an elephant sanctuary established and protected by Lord Parasurama (one of the avataras of Mahavishnu) Karipuram became Thiru Karipuram and got abbreviated to Trikkaripur. Probably one of the oldest temples in Kerala, it is believed to be consecrated by Parasurama himself as Shathru Samhaaramurthy (the one who destroys enemies). The temple is believed to be over 1500 years old. And legend has it that even Tipu Sultan's army could not penetrate this place while his army ravaged many Hindu temples in the north Malabar area. Tipu's army was made to believe that a herd of elephants chased them from approaching the walls of this temple. The legend of Lord Chakrapaani can be traced to Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu.
