Trichambaram Temple
Trichambaram Krishna Temple is an 11th century shrine situated at Trichambaram on the National Highway, around 20 km from Kannur and 5 kms south of Taliparambu town.
The main deity of the temple is Krishna after "Kamsavadham", sitting in Raudra posture (ferocious posture). The Krishna is supposed to be very hungry and so Nivedhyam (feeding) is done soon after opening the door of shrine. Since Trichambaram Sreekrishna sits in Raudra style (ferocious) it is believed not to worship him during dawn. This temple is also called North Guruvayoor, since it is located to the north of Guruvayoor Temple.
The sanctum has carvings and murals from the 15th and 16th centuries. In the temple complex there is also a shrine dedicated to Durga which is in middle of a tank. This shrine is one of the 108 Durgalayas of Ancient Kerala.
