AARANMULA TEMPLE

Location: Aranmula Near Thiruvananthapuram
Attractions: Parthasarathy, Lord Krishna
Famous As: Snake Boat Races
Significance: The temple dates back to the time of Mahabharata

Parthasarthy temple, dedicated to Parthasarathi or Lord Krishna is said to date back to the days of the Mahabharata. The Vaishnavite Alwar Saints have sung its glory.

A famous pilgrim place for Hindus, the temple is in Chengannor on the Thiruvananthapuram - Kottayam route. This temple is also associated with water sports involving snake boats.

A major attraction is the snake boat races held as part of the festival in August/September. Aranmula is famed for its hand-made mirrors of polished metal called the "Aranmula Kannadi".
Aranmula Uthrittathi Vallomkali', the snake boat race is conducted in the Pamba River in front of Sri Parthasarathi Temple. Though, large snake boats take part in this festival they do not race with each other.

Instead, they row in union, to the accompaniment of songs and reach their destination together because Lord Krishna is believed to be present in each boat.
