📖 About Ambalappuzha Sri Krishna Temple
Ambalappuzha Sri Krishna Temple in Alappuzha is one of the most important Krishna temples in Kerala, famous for its beautiful deity and the legendary Pal Payasam (sweet rice pudding). According to legend, Lord Krishna appeared as a sage and challenged the king to a game of chess, with the condition that the losing king would provide rice grains doubling each day for 64 squares of the chessboard. When the king lost, the enormous amount of rice required led to the tradition of preparing and distributing free Pal Payasam daily. The temple is renowned for its exquisite Kerala temple architecture and the Aarattu festival. The deity is considered particularly powerful for devotion, prosperity, and family harmony.
