History

Thiruvambadi Sri Krishna Temple is a Hindu temple in the city of Thrissur in Kerala, India. The temple is one of the two rival groups participating in the Thrissur Pooram, which is the biggest local festival in Kerala. Bhagavad Gita chanting makes the temple alive. Every day the Devaswom gives free lunch to people.

The dress code is a must with no modern dresses allowed.

The straight road opposite the temple leads to Poonkunnam Railway station and further up to Poonkunnam junction. Behind it there is a temple for Ganesh. The name of the parallel road in front is Shornur road, leading to Vadakunnatan temple on one side and Paturaikkal and then to Shornur on the other.

The temple was home to a famous elephant named Thiruvambadi_Sivasundar. He died on March 11, 2018.
