Trichambaram Temple

Trichambaram Temple is a Krishna shrine at Taliparamba in northern Kerala, founded around the 900s under the Mushika dynasty and praised in the eleventh-century Sanskrit court poem the Mūṣikavaṃśa. Its central image shows Krishna in his ferocious Raudra posture after slaying the tyrant Kamsa, and the temple counts among the Abhimana Kshethrams, esteemed Vaishnavite shrines.

The sanctum walls carry carvings and murals from the 1400s and 1500s. A Durga shrine stands in the middle of a temple tank, one of the hundred and eight Durgalayas of ancient Kerala, while smaller shrines honour Shiva, Ganesha, Shasta and the serpent deities.
