Nalambalam Yatra, or the darshan of four temples, is an important pilgrimage done in Kerala in the Karikidakam month, also known as the Ramayana Masam. The four temples are dedicated to Lord Ram, Bharatha, Lakshman and Shathrughnan – the four brothers in the Ramayana epic. Most people begin the journey of the four temples from the famous Sri Krishna Temple in Guruvayur as temples are within 60 km from here.
- Sree Rama Temple at Triprayar is dedicated to Lord Ram.
- Koodalmanickam Bharatha Temple at Irinjalakuda is dedicated to Bharatha, the second brother.
- Lakshmana Temple at Moozhikkulam is dedicated to Lakshman, the third brother
- Shathrughna Temple at Payammel is dedicated to Shathrughna, the fourth brother.
All these ancient temples are south of Guruvayur Krishna Temple and comes in an order – temple of eldest brother Ram first and temple of youngest brother last.
During the Ramayana Masam (mid July to mid August), government and private travel agencies conduct daily trip to the four temples from the Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple.

It would be have been better if full address with direction of each temple had been provided in the website. Many pilgrims would like to organize a grop of their own and go on a yathra. If the temple management has email id, that also could be provided for easy communicatin.
Divine article. The ancient Hindu philosophy of keeping mind and body for the well
being has entered the managerial, medical and judicial domain of the
world. Today it has found its place as an alternative to the theory of
modern management and also as a means to bring back the right path of
peace and prosperity for the human beings. Let me bow to Indian
Maharishi Veda Vysa with folded hands, who helped in removing the
impurities of the mind through his writings on Vedas, impurities of
speech through his writings on puranas, and impurities of body through
his writings on other sacred texts.
