'''Trichambaram Temple''' is a Krishna temple located at Taliparamba in the [[Kannur district]] of Kerala, South India. The temple is believed to have got the name from ''Thiru Shambara'' or the ''Holy Shambara'' in reverence to ''Maharishi Shambara'' who is supposed to have meditated here. The main deity of the temple is Shree [[Krishna]] after "Kamsavadham", sitting in Raudra posture (ferocious posture).<ref>{{cite book|title=Pilgrimage to Temple Heritage|date = September 2013|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nAt8AgAAQBAJ&q=trichambaram+temple&pg=PA387|publisher= Info Kerala Communications Pvt Ltd|isbn = 9788192128443|access-date=1 Sep 2013}}</ref> This temple is considered equal in status to the world-famous [[Guruvayoor Temple]], and is also called ''North Guruvayoor'', since it is located to the north of Guruvayoor Temple. The temple is managed by TTK Devaswom (Taliparamba, Thrichambaram, Kanjirangad Devasom) which is a major devaswom board administering around 15 temples in Kannur District of Kerala.

The temple is mentioned in the 11th century CE Sanskrit kāvya Mūṣikavaṃśa”.<ref>{{cite news |title=Grammar of engagement with believers must be re-imagined in cases like Sabarimala|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/kerala-sabarimala-belief-faith-ayyappa-sree-narayana-guru-language-of-belief-6236871/|newspaper=Indian Express |department=City: Thiruvananthapuram |agency=TNN |access-date=24 January 2020}}</ref>

The annual temple festival (''Utsavam'') is a colourful event. The fortnight-long festival begins on ''Kumbham'' 22 of [[Malayalam calendar]] (which generally falls on 6 March) every year with the ''Kodiyettam'' (hoisting of a religious flag) and comes to an end on ''Meenam'' 6 (which generallay falls on 20 March) with ''Koodipiriyal'' (Ending of this festival). In between these dates, for 11 days, ''Thitambu Nriththam'' (a sort of dance with the deities of Krishna and [[Balarama]]) is held at [[Pookoth Nada]] (1 km from Trichambaram temple).
