释义 |
Cheriazheekkal is a village in the Alappad panchayat in the town of Karunagapalli in Kerala, India. It sits between the Arabian Sea on the west and backwaters to the East. Cheriazheekkal is primarily made up of fishing communities. Known for its twin temples, Cheriazheekkal is steeped in legends. The Sri Kashi Vishwanathar Temple is also known as the Deccan Kashi Temple, after the legend of the priest who installed the Sivalingam that he found in the Ganges at Cheriazheekal. But it is also believed that the place housed a temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, built some 2,000 years ago. So today it is a temple for both Siva and Vishnu, and Mahasivaratri is celebrated annually for 10 days as grandly as the festivities that surround Sree Krishna Jayanthi. {{coord missing|Kerala}}References 1 : Villages in Kollam district |
