Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple

Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple Ernakulam | Lord Vishnu Temple in Kerala

Rests at a distance of around 10 km to the southeast of Ernakulam district, Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple is one of the eminent temples in Kerala. The presiding deity of this temple is Maha Vishnu, which is worshipped in the form of Santhanagopala Murthy. Here, Santhanagopalamoorthy means "savior of Infants" and the Lord Vishnu is found here in a sitting posture under the shade of five caps of Anantha. It's a unique posture which is completely different from other Vishnu temples where the Lord is usually found in a recumbent posture on the divine serpent.
The rear side of Sreekovil has a small window from where pilgrims can get a close look at the deity of Santhana Gopala Moorthy or Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple.
