Amanakara Sree Bharatha Temple
Kerala, Quilon, Thiruvananthapuram
Situated in Rampuram, Kottayam, Amanakara Sree Bharatha Temple is a famous temple dedicated to Lord Bharatha. The idol of Bharatha was installed here by a great Yogi more than 1500 years ago. The temple is part of the Nalambalam (Four Temples) yatra or visit in Kottayam.
Legend
According to the legends, Lord Rama rested at this place on his way to Lanka. When Rama reached this beautiful place, he felt it as an ideal place for his meditation. As Lakshmana, Bharatha and Sathrughna could not bear the disappearance of their beloved brother any longer, they too left Ayodhya and followed the path of their brother, assuming that their brother would have gone towards South. On finding him at Ramapuram, they too settled down nearby, thus explaining the four temples which are equi-distant from each other.
Architecture
A perfect blend of Kerala Vashtukala can be spotted in the Sreekovil and Namaskaramandapam of this temple.
Bharatha is considered as a great ruler and hence the Balikkal pura of
the temple was the court of this village. Bharatha idol is facing west
direction. In the north side, we can see a Shiva Temple which is facing
the east direction.
