The Temple

The Vadakkunnathan Temple, Trissur.
Note : This image has NOT been digitally manipulated. It so happened that the temple authorities had lit up the structure with blue light; thanks to the Pooram festival :)

  2. well, this is typical Kerala style architecture. I believe this is one of the oldest and largest Shiva temples in India. I love this place.

  5. Hi Jyothi,
    The Vadakkumnathan temple is probably the best looking among the temples with Kerala-style architecture..(as opposed to sri Padmanabhaswamy temple,for example, which shows Tamil influence in the gopuram...et al).
    Nice snap, :-)
    cheers,
    Thrissurkaaran.
