About Nalambalam

Nalambalam is a set of four Hindu temples in Kerala. In malayalam, nalu means “four” and Ambalam means “temple”. The deities here are the four sons of King Dasaratha of Ramayana. Lord Ram, the eldest of them, is the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu, who is the Supreme God of the Hindus. Bharata , second amongst them, is the avatar of the Panchajanya (Conch held by Vishnu) .Lakshmana is the avatar of the Adisesha, the serpent of infinite measures and on whom Lord Vishnu sleeps in the Ocean of Milk. Sathrughna (the One who is destroyer of enemies) is the twin brother to Lakshamana and the youngest .He is the avatar of the Sudarshana chakra held by Lord Vishnu.

Visiting nalambalam is considered to be a sacred event during the Malayalam month Karkidakam. Nalambalam consists of temples of brothers Sri Rama, Bharatha, Lakshmana & Sathrughna.

The Famous Nalambalam Yatra in Kottayam District

Ramapuram in Kottayam district, Kerala is the place where temples of all four brothers are situated. The four temples of central Kerala, thronged by Hindu devotees during the holy month of Karkidakam are centered around Ramapuram, within a distance of three kilometers. They are Ramapuram Sree Ramaswamy Temple, Koodappulam Sree Lakshmanaswamy Temple, Amanakara Sree Bharathaswamy Temple and Methiri Sree Sathrughnaswamy Temple. These temples together are called the Nalambalam.

Nalambalam Yatra begins from the Rama temple in ramapuram then to lakshmana temple at koodappulam after that bharatha temple at amanakara and then shatrughna temple at methiri. The nalambalam yatra will only be completed when you come back to the sreerama temple at ramapuram.
