You have seen Ganesha in many kolams. Have you seen the kolam with Lord Krishna on Lord Vinayaka's lap! If not then come to Kottayam Malliyur Mahaganapati Temple in Kerala. Ancestors of Sankaran Namboothiri consecrated and worshipped the idol of Mahaganapati here. Later, the temple was under the care of families belonging to Aryapalli Manai and Vadakedam Manai. Over time, the family became poor and the worship stopped. Later, Sankaran Namboothiri, a member of this family, was devoted to Guruvayurappan. He sat in the shrine of Mahaganapati and read the Bhagavata daily describing the glories of Krishna. Bound by his devotion, Krishna appeared sitting on the lap of his son-in-law Mahaganapati. Then Mahaganapati too was delighted and embraced Krishna. Every year there is a music festival to entertain Lord Krishna during Makara Lamp season. Popular singers will participate in the event. There are shrines of Shasta, Maha Vishnu, Durga, Anthi Mahakavalan, Yakshi and Nagar in the prakaram. To get rid of the marriage ban, fruits garland worship takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays. Milk kheer is offered to Swami for the boon of having child. Those whose prayers have been fulfilled offer whatever they desire as offerings. Mukkutri pushpanjali is offered to get rid of planetary dosha. They pluck the roots of 108 Mukkutri herbs and recite the Moolamantra of Lord Ganesha while worshipping. Reservations are essential as this worship is performed only five times a day.

Great Ganesh temple with sreekrisha sitting in his pam.. Free anadhanam every day useful for sabarimala pilgrims, aravana payasam and appam are good and tasty.. Highly recommend to do donations for annadanam, it helps lot of pilgrims passing in that way, not a govt devasom temple
