GG News Bureau
Thrissur, 17th Jan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the famous Triprayar Sree Ramaswamy Temple in Thrissur, Kerala on Wednesday to offer prayers.

Before visiting the Triprayar temple, the Prime Minister attended the wedding ceremony of actor-turned-politician Suresh Gopi’s daughter at the Lord Krishna Temple in Guruvayur. The Sree Ramaswamy temple is located on the bank of the Karuvannur river, also known as Theevra river.

After offering prayers at the Guruvayur temple, Prime Minister Modi arrived at Valapad helipad around 9.45 am and then proceeded to the Triprayar temple, which is just a few kilometers away.

Along the route to the temple, hundreds of BJP supporters and workers gathered to greet Modi. They showered his vehicle with flowers, waved BJP flags, and chanted his name. The road was decorated with BJP-colored streamers.

At the temple, Modi wore traditional attire and performed the fish feeding ritual called ‘meen oottu’. He also attended a ‘veda archana’ and ‘bhajana’ by children inside the temple premises.

After spending more than an hour at the temple, he proceeded to Kochi to participate in public and party functions.

Before leaving the Triprayar temple, Modi stood on the footboard of his vehicle to wave at the people gathered on the roadsides and bid them farewell.

The Triprayar temple is dedicated to Lord Ram, the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu. It is known for the Nalambalam yatra, a pilgrimage to the abode of Lord Ram and his brothers Bharat, Lakshman, and Shatrughan, which takes place during the Malayalam month of Karkidakam.

Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the Sree Ramaswamy Temple in Kerala coincides with the consecration of the Lord Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22.
