Vishnu is believed to have incarnated on Earth in various forms, known as avatars, to restore balance and righteousness. Some of his most famous avatars include Rama, Krishna, and Narasimha.
Lord Vishnu, the preserver in Hinduism, embodies compassion and upholds righteousness through avatars like Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. Lord Shiva, the destroyer, symbolizes asceticism and spiritual liberation. Both deities play vital roles in Hindu cosmology, guiding devotees worldwide with their divine grace and wisdom.
Festivals
The Temple has a number of festivals. The important ones are :
Vishu
Vishu, celebrated during the Malayalam New Year in April, is a festival of prosperity and new beginnings. Devotees visit the temple to seek blessings for a prosperous year ahead. The day begins with the Vishukkani, an arrangement of auspicious items, which is viewed as the first thing in the morning for good luck.
Narayaneeya Parayanam
During the Narayaneeya Parayanam, devotees gather at temples or homes and recite the verses of the Narayaneeyam, usually over a set period of time. This ritual is believed to invoke the blessings of Lord Vishnu and bring spiritual merit to the participants.
