Lord Lakshmana is the
presiding Deity here. Legend has it that Lord Vishnu revealed Himself to a great
Rishi, Harita. The Sage was meditating on the banks of the Poorna River (
Chalakudy River ), when he got the Revealation. Thiru means divine and
moozhi refers to the esoteric secrets which the Lord revealed. And so the place
came to be called Thirumoozhikulam.
This Temple is one of the
Four Temples of Nalambala Darshanam and closely linked to Ramayana. The four
idols, of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna, were found by some fishermen
at Thriprayar and they were given to a landlord, Vakkay Kaimal. Kaimal had a
dream in which the Lord instructed him to install the four idols at four
different places. He did as directed
Rama at Thriprayar
Lakshmana at Thirumoozhikulam
Bharata at Irinjalakuda
Sathrughna at Payammal
Darshan of the Four Deities was considered as highly auspicious, during the
Ramayana Month ( when the Sun's longitude is betwee 90 and 120 ).
This Temple is located at
about 40 kms from Ernakulam.
