Dakshina Mookambika Temple, North Paravur - Hindu temple in North Paravur - Ernakulam, India

A nice temple goddess saraswathi known as Dakshina Mookambika. Nice water body around the temple with lotus and beautiful goddess. Good darshan and less crowd compared to kolur

Goddess Saraswati Temple situated 27 km from Ernakulam. The temple is an alternative for those who can't make it to Kollur. Sanctum Sanctorum is also surrounded by water. Goddess is in a sitting posture playing her Veena. Vidhyarambham is done on all days, so is chorunal. Important vazhipadu is kashayam and oushada ghee ( this is to improve one's memory) Navarathri is a very big festival lasting for 10 days. The temple pond outside the premises is probably among the larger ones. Must visit especially with children.

This is Hindu temple Diety is Shri Saraswati devi. Placed in a place surrounded by water. Devotees gather here everyday and it is crowded at Navarathri days. Vidya arambha puja is also performed with various other pujas too.

Loved it. My wish for many decades to visit the Temple ultimately happened on 8th Jan, 2023 for it was the place my grand-ma and Maa had spent their days in their early lives. Mookambikai, the Presiding Deity is actually Saeaswathi. Typical Kerala styled Temple with exception of the moola-murthi, unlike the usual Bhagavathi posture in other Kerala temples. Here, Devi is in sitting posture holding in Her hands, the Veena and playing. Sanctum sanctorum is located on a pond like base with blooming lillies around and a well. Daily aksharabhyasams are happening as also chorunnal. Students writing exams keep their pen/pencil at Her feet with prayers held. Subrahmanya, Veerabhadra, Vissnu and Hanuman sannadhis are located around the four corners of the outer prakara. Outside the many entrance,a big auditorium is there where musical and cultural programs are held during Navarathri, Annual Uksavams and on other festive occasions. A must see Temple with Divine experience.

Feel good divine atmosphere Quiet temple of sarawati, goddess of learning. The inner temple is surrounded by water column. Hence inside the temple is not spacious. The outer area is vast and surroundings are good. Photography is not allowed usually.

I used to visit here every weekends.. Such a calm and quiet temple lies in the heart of North paravur Town. Very good ambience.. A large pond in front of this temple..

Such a divine place kept in a very bad manner. The temple pond is full of plastic and dirt. What a pathetic situation for the devotees.the staffs are extremely rude. Long live devaswam board. Nonsense.
