How do I get there? Every pilgrimage begins with this question.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kanadikavu Sree Vishnumaya Swami Temple, the Vishnumaya Temple Thrissur<\/a> devotees speak of with such love, stands in Peringottukara, about 20 kilometres southwest of Thrissur city. It is one of the widely-known Kuttichathan temples in Kerala, and it lies within easy reach of Guruvayur. Here is how to reach the Swami\u2019s doorstep from the three places pilgrims most often begin.<\/p>\n

Kanadikavu Temple address<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kizhakkummur P.O.i, Peringottukara, Thrissur, Kerala, PIN 680571. Share this with your driver. It is the surest guide on the road.<\/p>\n

How to reach Kanadikavu Temple from Thrissur<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Peringottukara temple lies about 20 kilometres southwest of Thrissur city. Most devotees reach it by taxi or auto from the city, and you can ask at the bus stand about buses to the Peringottukara route. Leave early in the day, so you can stand before Kanadikavu Shree Vishnumaya Kuttichathan Swamy with a calm heart.<\/p>\n

From Guruvayur to Kanadikavu Vishnumaya Temple<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have just received the Lord\u2019s blessings at Guruvayur, you can carry that devotion on to Kanadikavu. The temple is about 25 to 28 kilometres from Guruvayur, roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive. A taxi is the easiest way. Ask for Kizhakkummuri, Peringottukara, and call the temple office anytime if you are in doubt.<\/p>\n

From Cochin Airport to Kanadikavu Temple<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery is the nearest airport. The temple is about 55 kilometres far from the airport, and the drive takes roughly an hour. Book a taxi at the airport and give the driver the temple address. Pilgrims arriving from far away or abroad often come this way.<\/p>\n

Contact the temple before you travel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Call 0487 2272277, 0487 2271444, 08547472277 or toll-free number 1800 891 9369, or write to info@kanadikavu.com. If you plan to come on a special pooja day, contact the temple first.<\/p>\n
