The Destinations on This Route

A little background on each place this pilgrimage takes you to.

Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple

Set on the banks of the Pamba river in Pathanamthitta district, this temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams revered in Vaishnavite tradition, dedicated to Krishna as Parthasarathy, charioteer to Arjuna.

Chengannur Mahadeva Temple

A Shiva temple where the goddess Bhadrakali is equally venerated, known for the distinctive Thripputhu ritual observed according to local legend and tradition. The temple follows classic Kerala architecture, with a circular shrine and carved woodwork.

Malayalapuzha Devi Temple

A temple over a thousand years old by tradition, housing a striking image of the goddess in her fierce form after slaying the demon Darika. Its annual festival features Kathakali performances, and the temple is also known for its wall paintings.

Nilakkal Mahadeva Temple

A forest temple just off the road to Sabarimala, traditionally connected to the Ayyappa pilgrimage story. The present temple structure was completed in 1960, though the site's association with the legend goes back further.
