Situated in Manassery, within the Mukkam Municipality of the eastern hilly region of Calicut District, Kerala, the Sree Kunnath Thrikkovil Vishnu Temple boasts a rich legacy spanning approximately 1600 years. Over time, despite its deteriorated state, this sacred site has undergone meticulous restoration, thanks to the unwavering dedication of devotees and the community at large. Today, the temple stands as a beacon of faith and spiritual solace, drawing thousands from across Malabar. Events such as 'Annadana' (food distribution), the grand temple festival, and the 'Kodiarchana' (a ritualistic offering of flowers and mantras) witness the participation of multitudes, attesting to its popularity and significance. Devotees flock to this revered
more shrine seeking relief from their adversities, often finding peace, solace, marital bliss, progeny, and divine blessings. Such is the temple's prominence that hundreds converge to seek the deity's benevolence. Various committees, including the Relief Committee, Fine Arts Committee, Vanitha Charitable Society, See Kunnath Publications, Vedapathasala, Sports Division, and the 'Annadana' and Tailoring Unit under the Temple Committee, ardently serve the community. The temple's architectural marvels, including the expansive Garuda Silpa, recognized as Kerala's most significant, and the revered conch or Sankhu Silpa, symbolizing 'Thirtha,' stand prominently in the East Nada. These sculptures not only epitomize the temple's grandeur but also exemplify exemplary craftsmanship. Additionally, the recent construction of a festival chariot, designed to circumvent elephants during processions, further accentuates the temple's commitment to tradition and innovation.
