Kesavapuram Sreekrishna Swamy Temple stands as a pristine and divine sanctuary, revered as one of the oldest Krishna temples in Kerala. The idol, estimated to be over 780 years old, was consecrated by the Koovakkaramatompotti. Here, the deity transcends mere sanctity; he embodies the spirit of a neighbour, a friend, a familiar presence among the people of Maruthankuzhi. The temple's management falls under a trust comprising individuals from all walks of life, united by their proximity rather than their backgrounds. Despite facing financial challenges that once threatened its existence, the temple has been revitalized and restored to its former glory through the unwavering determination of Maruthankuzhi's youth. Ashtami
more Rohini stands as the principal festival, observed over five days during Janmashtami each year. Through personal experiences, many have felt the blessings and divine care of Krishna throughout their lives. For those who seek his blessings with genuine devotion, disappointment is not in the divine vocabulary. Nestled near the banks of the Killi River, one of the prominent rivers flowing through the urban landscape of Trivandrum, the temple emanates a charm that is both modest and captivating.
