Thuravoor Mahakshethram is one of South India's
most important temples dedicated to Lord Narasimhamoorthy. Installed close to
Narasimhamoorthy, but in a separate Sreekovil, is the idol of Sree
Mahasudarsana-moorthy. The temple complex is located at Thuravoor in Kerala, 25
Kilometres South of Kochi, by the side of NH 47. Unique in its architectural
and artistic grandeur, the temple is one of the most revered places of worship
in Kerala. The two Sreekovils in a single yet spacious Nalambalam, the two
golden Garudadwajas, the stringent and austere Vratas of the chief priest (who
has to observe strict Brahmacharya and does not leave the temple premises
during his
more
tenure), the various festivals, the Vedic rituals and Purana
discourses all through the year attract streams of devotees to the temple from
within and outside the State. Both 'Sree Narasimhamoorthy and Sree
Sudarsanamoorthy' the main deities are worshipped with equal reverence at the
Thuravoor temple. It is the staunch belief that those who worship
Narasimhamoorthy here will earn the blessings of the entire galaxy of gods.
Goddess Mahalakshmi will also bless them with every happiness and wealth.
Worship of 'Lord Mahavishnu', in his manifestation as 'Sudarsanamoorthy', will
ensure that they are protected against all obstructions, sorrows and sins and
are blessed with a long, successful and prosperous life.
