Beautiful and ancient temple of Sri Santhana Gopala Krishna Swami. Also known as Sree Poornatrayeesha. The Lord is sitting on the lap of Adisesha with right leg folded, holding a lotus flower in His right hand. Arjuna installed this temple. Traditions say that Lord Vishnu offered the Deity of Sree Poornathrayeesa to Arjuna (the 3rd of the Pandavas), when he sought the help of the Lord to give rebirth to the ten children of a Brahmin. The ten children and the sacred idol were taken by Arjuna in his chariot and he handed over the children to the Brahmin. In memory of this event, a temple was built with a sanctum sanctorum in the form of a chariot.

Thrikketta Purappadu

Vilwamangalam Swamiyar visited the temple during the festival period and found the divine presence in the procession and not in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. So it is believed that the deity leaves the sanctum sanctorum and visits the devotees during the procession. The procession takes at night before a huge crowd who makes various offerings including money.
