Believed to have been constructed in the 13th century by Pandya King Maravarman Sundara Pandyan, who triumphed over the Cholas and governed the region, Kulapully Sree Krishna Temple holds a rich historical significance. Unfortunately, during the 18th century, the temple suffered destruction when Tippu Sultan invaded Malabar. Abandoned and devoid of the essential Poojas (rituals), the temple gradually succumbed to nature and became engulfed by the wilderness. On a fortuitous day, while searching for a place to call home, Shri Erangodath Prasannakumar stumbled upon this ancient temple. It seemed as though the divine will of God had directed his attention towards the temple, also known as "Hrudaya Nivasi,"
more meaning the dweller of our hearts. This divine inspiration led Shri Prasannakumar to embark on the ambitious journey of reconstructing the temple and reinstating its daily rituals. Through the unwavering dedication of devotees, guided by Shri Prasannakumar, the temple was successfully recreated, and the sacred Kumbhabhishekam ceremony took place on April 29, 2007. Today, Kulapully Sree Krishna Temple serves as a magnet for pilgrims from all corners of India. What makes this temple truly unique is its inclusivity, welcoming devotees from all walks of life regardless of caste, creed, religion, or place of birth. The only criterion for entry into the temple precincts is faith. Devotees, burdened with heavy hearts and suffering, flock to seek the blessings of Lord Gadadhara Navaneetha Krishna for peace, prosperity, and happiness. Many testify that their prayers have been answered, and after visiting the temple, their lives have taken on new meaning and tranquillity.
