Sree Krishna Swami Temple is a Hindu temple located in the heart of Thodupuzha town in the Idukki district of Kerala, India. Situated along the banks of the Thodupuzhayar, a tributary of the Muvattupuzha River, the temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna, who is worshipped in the form of Navaneetha Krishna, depicted holding butter in his right palm.
The origin of the temple is linked to numerous myths that date back to ancient times. One popular legend tells of a wandering Brahmin on a pilgrimage to various temples who arrived at this site and received a divine vision of Lord Krishna. After this vision.
This incident is widely regarded as the primary reason for the temple's origin. Subsequently, the raja of Keezhmalanadu built a shrine for the deity and consecrated an idol. Today, the temple is known for hosting the famous Chothioottu feast, which provides free meals to the pilgrims who visit. The temple is currently managed by a board of trustees.
The morning rituals begin with the 'Usha pooja,' followed by the 'Abhishekam.' Each morning, the flower garlands from the previous day are removed. In front of the temple lies the 'Nilapaduthara,' or holy platform, where the saint is believed to have received the idol of the deity.
