Overview

Kerala Short Jain Pilgrimage Tour

The beauty of Kerala and the spiritual charm make Jain Pilgrimage tour quite exciting. Amongst so many Hindu and Christian shrines, Jain Temples have also made their existence felt with exquisite architecture and of course its moral concepts and virtues. There were many Jain temples spread over Kerala in ancient times. Koodalmanikyam Temple in Irinjalakuda is believed to have been among them. Jainism came to Kerala in the third century BC soon after Chandragupta Maurya (B.C. 321-297), accompanied by the Jain monk Bhadrabahu, travelled to Shravanabelagola near Mysore. Their followers are believed to have journeyed further south, into present day Kerala and Tamil Nadu, in search of suitable places for meditation. Our pious tour will begin with the visit of 100 years old harmanath Jain temple at Mattancherry at Kochi. We shall also visit the Swetamber Murtipujak Temple, which also an important shrine in the city. The beautiful Alleppey would be our last destination for the tour, where we will pay homage to two exquisite Jain shrines of Shree Vasupujay Swami Jain Temple and Chettikulangara Bhagawathy Temple.
