Akapparambu Sree Krishna Swamy Temple is an ancient temple believed to have been built nearly 2,000 years ago. In its early years, the temple was administered by the local kingdom. Following the decline of the kingdom, the administration of the temple came under the control of a few Brahmin (Nampoothiri) families. The temple flourished during this period, gaining prominence alongside the prosperity of the kingdom and these families. However, with the introduction of the Land Reform Act in the 1970s, the Brahmin families lost a significant portion of their properties. As a result, they were unable to generate the resources required even for the daily rituals of
more the temple. Gradually, annual celebrations such as Thiruvulsavam and other important festivals ceased, devotees stopped visiting, and the temple slowly fell into disrepair. By the grace of God, in 1991, a group of devoted residents resolved to restore the sanctity of the temple and revive its lost glory. To achieve this, they formed a committee titled “Akapparambu Sreekrishna Swamy Kshethra Samrakshana Samithi.” The Samithi was registered on 27 March 1991 under the Travancore–Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955, with Registration Number ER 227/91. The temple and its surrounding land were subsequently handed over to the Samithi by the temple’s custodian, the renowned Brahmin family Padappa Mana, Mekkad. Under the administration of the Samithi, all poojas and other important rituals have been successfully revived. It is firmly believed that “Akapparambappan” (Sreekrishna Bhagawan) bestows His blessings upon devotees who seek Him with sincerity and devotion from the depths of their hearts.
