History & tradition
Asramam Sree Krishna Swamy Temple is in Kollam, Kerala, on the shore of Ashtamudi Lake. Krishna is worshipped here as Navaneetha Krishnan, Krishna with butter. The temple sits on a mound made with earth dug from a spot nearby, which now forms the temple pond. The sub-deities include Ayyappan, who has a separate shrine with eighteen holy steps like those of Sabarimala, the Naga deities and the Navagrahas. The Kollam Pooram is the culmination of the temple’s ten-day festival, normally in mid-April.
