SREE VALLABHA TEMPLE
Thiruvalla is one among the 32 Brahmin gramams in Kerala. The name Thiruvalla is a colloquial form of Sreevallabhapuram, named after the chief deity Sree Vallabha. The ancient name of Thiruvalla was "Valla vai". This name had some relation with the river Manimala which was known as Valla puzha, suggesting that Thiruvalla was at the mouth/bank of river Manimala and hence was known as Valla vai. Thiruvalla was under the rulership of Ay, Nantuzhainadu, Thekkumkoor and Thiruvithamkoor dynasties.
The idol of Maha Vishnu or Sree Vallabha was sculpted by Viswakarma at the behest of Lord Krishna and was given to Satyaki at the end of Dwapara Yuga. Towards the end of Dwapara Yuga, Lord asked Garuda to keep the idol in safe custody and accordingly Garuda kept it in Netravati river which flows from Karnataka to Kerala. Later, the royal consort of Cheraman Perumal - the emperor of Kerala had a dream that the idol of Krishna was lying on the bed of Netravati river. All efforts were taken to search the idol. At last the idol was discovered from the Bhadra Hrada of Netravati river in B. C 59 with the joint effort of the Tulu Brahmins and the local potties (Malayala Brahmins or Nampoothiries). Cheraman Perumal built a temple at Thiruvalla to install the idol. The Prathishta (installation) ritual was conducted on 14th day of Edavam in B.C 59 (Kaliyugam 3043).
