==Vasudevapuram SriKrishna Temple Tavanur (ശ്രീ വാസുദേവപുരം ശ്രീകൃഷ്ണ ക്ഷേത്രം)==
[[Tavanur]]

Sri Vasudevapuram [[Temple]] is one among the three ancient great temples (Maha Kshetram) on the Southern bank of the holy river [[Bharathapuzha]]. Sri Vasudevapuram Temple is situated to the east of the other two great temples viz. Maha Siva Temple and Brahma temple (these temples along with the famous [[Thirunavaya Temple|Thirunavaya]] Maha Vishnu temple across the river forms the great trilogy in [[Hinduism|Sanatana Dharma]])
<ref>Sri Vasudevapuram Kshetram (Malayalam), Published by Sri Vasudevapuram Kshetrasamrakshana Samiti, Tavanur-679573. Ph:9895694935</ref> The area of Tavanur in which the temple is located is called Muvaankara (മൂവ്വാങ്കര). Since [[Brahma]], [[Vishnu]] and [[Shiva]] are the presiding deities of the area, it was initially known as Muvalankara, which later became Muvaankara.

This temple is situated in a serene atmosphere in the middle of a wooded area (42 cents) resembling that of [[Sabarimala]]. The temple belonged to Maravanchery Mana and now it has been handed over to a registered trust of devotees.

The beautiful and unique Sri [[Krishna]] idol made of jet black stone is in the form of child Sri Krishna with butter in both hands. It is believed to have been the idol worshiped by [[Vilwamangalam Swamiyar]].

"Sri Vasudevapuram" temple is built for [[Vilwamangalam Swamiyar]]'s mother for offering prayer during her old age.

==Legends==
Lord Sri [[Balkrishna|Krishna as a child]] appeared to a [[mahatma]] who was a devout Brahmin and a [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Transwiki:Yathi yathi] varyan ([[Vilwamangalam Swamiyar]]). He worshiped Lord Sri Krishna in child form in a unique idol. After the disappearance of his mortal body, that divine idol was installed in a temple as per temple rituals for the benefit of common people. The village was dedicated to the Lord of this temple and was renamed Vasudevapuram. Later a devotee of Lord Shiva brought a Shiva [[lingam]] and installed it in the temple for his worship. [[Ganapathi]] and Sastha idols were also installed in the temple.<ref>Proceedings of the Deva Prasnam by Jyothisha Panditha Sri. Mezhathur A. P. Kuttikrishnan Nair, 17 May 1985</ref>

'''Ashtami Rohini''' in Chingam (August-September) is the birthday of Lord Krishna.<ref>http://www.guruvayurdevaswom.org/oreligious.shtml</ref>
That is celebrated every year with cultural programs, procession, and special poojas including Guru pooja (Yatheeswara pooja). The devotees are given special feast on this day.

'''Niraputhari''': This takes place in the month of Chingam. Puthari means new rice. It is the formal beginning of the use of rice after the new harvest season. It is a tradition in [[Hinduism|Sanatana Dharma]] that any food, item or work is offered (dedicated) to Lord before it is used. Puthari payasam is offered to Lord.

'''Kuchela Dinam''': The first Wednesday of the month of Dhanu (December) is celebrated as Kuchela Dinam. It is based on the belief that it was on this day that Kuchela, an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna offered Avil (parched rice) to him and in return attained eternal bliss and material prosperity . Avil offering is considered auspicious on this day.
