How To Reach Janardanaswamy Temple

Varkala, Kerala, India
The Janardanaswamy Temple is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, believed to be over 2,000 years old. It is considered one of the 108 Abhimana Kshethrams, a significant group of Vaishnavite shrines mentioned in ancient texts. The presiding deity, Janardanaswamy, is depicted standing w ith his right hand raised towards his mouth, a unique posture that, according to legend, signifies the world's end when his hand reaches his mouth. The temple showcases traditional Kerala architecture with intricate carvings and murals. This temple holds immense spiritual significance, particularly for performing rituals for departed souls and forefathers, earning it the name 'Pitru Mokshakan'. Thousands of devotees visit throughout the year to offer prayers and seek blessings. The annual ten-day 'Arattu' festival, celebrated in the Malayalam month of Meenam (March-April), is a grand affair, beginning with a flag-hoisting ceremony and concluding with a procession of decorated elephants. While non-Hindus are generally not permitted inside the inner sanctum, they can admire the beautiful architecture from the outside. The temple also serves as an important Ayurvedic treatment center.
