Ambalapuzha Temple
(Sreekrishna Temple)
The ancient Sree Krishna Temple, dedicated to Lord Krishna is situated
8 miles south of Alappuzha.
This
temple is famous throughout Kerala for the milk porridge, 'Palpayasam'
served here. At Karumadi, near by, is an image of the Buddha, a relic of
the times when Buddhism flourished in the State.
It is also in this temple that 'Pallipana' is performed by 'Velans'
(sorcerers) once in twelve years. Human sacrifice was conducted in
ancient times. However, cocks have now replaced humans on the
sacrificial altar.
Neighbouring Alleppey, with its beautiful backwaters and canals has a
