'''Thriprayar Shree Ramaswami Temple''' is [[Hindu]] temple situated in [[Triprayar]] in [[Thrissur district]] of [[Kerala]] state in [[India]]. The deity is Lord [[Rama]], the seventh incarnation of Lord [[Vishnu]], with four arms bearing a [[Shankha|conch]], a [[Sudarshan Chakra|disc]], a bow and a garland. The temple is situated on the bank of river Theevra. The temple deity is the presiding deity of [[Arattupuzha Pooram]]. It is believed that the idol here was worshipped by Lord [[Krishna]], another avatar of Lord Vishnu in [[Dwarka]]. Along with Lord Rama, there are shrines for Lord [[Shiva]] as [[Dakshinamurti|Dakshinamoorthy]], Lord [[Ganesha]], Lord [[Sastha]] and Lord Krishna. It is the first among the four temples housing the four sons of King [[Dasharatha]], popularly known as [[Nalambalam]]s, the others being [[Koodalmanikyam Temple]] in [[Irinjalakuda]] housing [[Bharata (Mahabharata)|Bharata]], [[Thirumoozhikkulam Lakshmana Perumal Temple|Thirumuzhikoolam temple]] housing [[Lakshmana]] and [[Payammal Shatrughna Temple|Payammal]] housing [[Shatrughna]] in that order. It is believed that worshipping these temples on a single day in the [[Malayalam calendar|Malayalam month]] of [[Karkadakam]] is very auspicious, and thus many devotees visit these temples. Thriprayar temple used to be owned & administered by the 3 famous [[Nambudiri]] families namely [[Cheloor mana]], Janappilly Mana and Punnappilly Mana before it was handed over to the [[Cochin Devaswom Board]]. Still, the heads of these three families serve as the Ooralans of the temple and take part in the rituals and festivals in accordance with the customs.<ref>{{cite web
