village Sri Krishna temple
Compiled by

Perumkulam is an
aghraharam of Tamil Brahmins 23 km away from Palakkad in the Palakkad-Guruvayur
route. The Sri Krishna temple there is being maintained by the Tamil Brahmins.
There is
interesting story about this temple. It seems there was a Namboodidiry family
called Varikkasery Mana near by. Their
family deity was Lord Krishna. Once one hand of the deity was broken. The chief
of the family thought he should replace
the broken idol and arranged a new idol
to be prepared. But once he was ready for consecration, he had a
dream in which Lord Krishna asked him,
whether he would throw away his son if
his hand is broken. Then it seems The Nambooddiri asked the God what to do with a new idol It seems God told him
that some people would approach him and request for the new idol. At that time
a prominent person in Perumkulam had a dream in which the Lord instructed him
to approach the Varikkaserry Mana for
getting the new idol for the temple they were planning. The present idol is the one they got From that Mana. There is als a Ganapathi
shrine in the village in the same temple. The temples re open from 5.30 Am to 9
Am and 5PM to 9 PM.
The temple
celebrates a Brahmothsavam from 15th
February to 15th march , every year.
