Kanimangalam Sri Sastha Temple – Thrissur

 

Kanimangalam Sri Sastha Temple is located in Kanimangalam in Thrissur city of Kerala.

Lord Ayyappa Swamy is the presiding deity of this temple

The idol of Lord Shastha is in a sitting pose with folded legs, with lotus in the right hand and the left hand resting on the left knee. The Lord is beloved to be in a meditation.

He is the first participant of Thrissur Pooram

It is the first Pooram to enter Vadakkunnathan Temple

He is the protector of all goddesses who take part in Thrissur Pooram

An interesting feature is that Sree Kanimangalam Shastha is considered very delicate, and hence he does not like to be exposed to mist and sun.
