About Triprayar Sri Rama Temple
The Triprayar Temple is located beside the Theevra River. River Theevra is also known as Purayar. Because of this, the location was first known as Triprayar and later as Thirupurayar (holy river). Regarding the beginning of this river, there is an intriguing folklore. While travelling to Thrikkakkara as Lord Mahavishnu in his Vamana avatar, he stopped at this location but was unable to wash his legs since the area was too dry and barren. Vamana used his kamandalu, a small, round container that Hindu sages used to transport water, to wash his legs. This spring of water never ran out; instead, it continued to flow as the Thiru Purayar or the Thriprayar (river of divine source), as it is today known.Sreepriya River and Nandiyar are further names for Purayar.
