- Tell us about this temple
The Tharakkal Sri Maha Vishnu Temple which is situated by the Thrissur - Irinjalakuda route near the Puthenthodu in Karuvannur, at Thrissur district is a very ancient temple. This temple which belongs to the committee that is in charge of the Karuvannur Sree Vettukunnath Kavu Temple is now in a dilapidated condition. This land which has three Vishnu temples, amazingly structured in a straight line, inherited its name from "Karu" that means "water stream" and "uur" that means place. This temple which is more than 1, 200 years old is said to have been the private property of the Kuttanellur Muthedathu Mana. To be blessed with offspring, a statue of Lord Krishna was worshipped in the Illam, and after its fruitful result, a beautiful temple was built and this same statue was reinstated and worshipped in it.
