What is the Taliparamba Nalambala darshan?
Nalambalam means ‘four temples’. Devotees who visit Sri Rajarajeshwara Temple in Taliparamba usually complete their visit with darshan at three more temples nearby: Trichambaram Sree Krishna Temple (about 3.5 km), Kanhirangad Sree Vaidyanatha Temple (about 5 km) and Mazhoor Sree Balabhadra Swamy Temple (about 7 km). All four can be visited in a day from Vysakham Heritage, which is next door to Sri Rajarajeshwara Temple. Our suggested order is Trichambaram and Kanhirangad (both till 12 noon), Mazhoor (till 10 am, so start early), and finish at Sri Rajarajeshwara Temple in the evening, when women can also enter (from 7:10 pm) and our home is right next door. Free lunch is served at Sri Rajarajeshwara Temple till about 2 pm. Timings are subject to change. See things to do near Taliparamba for the route.
