Thrikkakara Vamanamoorthy Temple is one of the major Hindu temples in India dedicated to Vamana, a form of the god Vishnu. It is situated in Thrikkakara, Kochi in the state of Kerala, India. The temple is around two millennia old[2] and is also listed as one of the 108 Divya Desams (divine places).[3][4]
The main temple festival is during the Onam season, which falls on the month of August or September and is the most important event of the religious calendar here.[5] After East India Company and Marthandavarma annexed the territory from Kingdom of Kochi, the Onam festival was jointly organized by the 61 Naduvazhis (local rulers) under the leadership of the Maharaja of Travancore, till India regained independence. Communal harmony continues to be the hallmark of the celebrations, with people belonging to different religions turning out in large numbers for the Onasadya or the Onam feastin keeping with the spirit of the festival.[6][7] Apart from Onam, the temple also observes important festivals in the Hindu calendar such as Vishu, Makara Sankranti,[8] Navarathri and Saraswati Puja.
