On the banks of a rhapsodizing river in the Thrissur district, a big temple dedicated to Lord Rama could be seen, where fusion of legend and architecture creates devotional ecstasy. In the dim past, this river is believed to have skirted the temple on three sides and hence the sacred place is called as Thirupuraiyar or most popularly as "TRIPRAYAR".
Triprayar Temple is dedicated to Lord Ram and is a famous temple dedicated to Lord Ram in South India. The temple is noted for its architecture and for its calm and serene surroundings including a large pond. The temple is located around 25 km from Thrissur town and is about 23 km from the world famous Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple.
Thriprayar Sri Rama temple is located along the banks of Theerva River.
Ekadasi is an auspicious day dedicated to Lord Vishnu on the 11th day of a fortnight in a traditional Hindu calendar. Triprayar Ekadasi or Thriprayar Ekadashi is observed on Ekadashi day in the Malayali month of Vrischikam. It is observed on the 11th day after the full moon in the Malayalam month of Vrishchikam (November – December). In 2009, Triprayar Ekadashi date is December 12. The festival is celebrated for 14 days in Triprayar Sri Rama Temple near Thrissur town of Kerala. During the Ekadashi, a procession of Saasta takes place.
Thriprayar Ekadasi is known as Saphala Ekadasi or Safala Ekadashi. It is the Margashira Krishna Ekadasi as per Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati and Kannada calendars and Paush Krishna Ekadasi as per North Indian calendars.
The Triprayar Ekadasi is one of the most important festivals at the temple. On Dasami, the day before Ekadasi, there is a procession of Lord Shasta.
On the Ekadasi day, an utsava idol of Lord Rama is taken out for procession atop an elephant and the Lord is accompanied by 21 elephants. Thousands of people arrive at the temple to witness this divine procession. Devotees also fast on the Eakdasi day and the fast ends on the next day morning. Special evening pujas and rituals are held at the temple.
