Thuravoor Mahakshethram is one of South India’s most important temples dedicated to Lord Narasimhamoorthy. Installed close to Narasimhamoorthy, but in a separate Sreekovil, is the idol of Sree Mahasudarsanamoorthy.
Thuravoor Mahakshethram, an ancient Devasthanam located by the side of NH-47, approximately 25 km south of Kochi city, is the sacred abode of Lord Sree Narasimhamoorthy and Lord Sree Mahasudarsanamoorthy. The entire temple complex can be seen from the road.

Two separate Sanctum Sanctoroms nearby - within the same compound - reflect the synthesis of a unique and mysterious divine power. The idol of Sree Narasimhamoorthy is said to have originated in the holy city of Kashi (Varanasi). Swami Padmapadar (8th century AD), the principal disciple of Adi Sankaracharya, had worshipped the very same idol at Kashi.
