Temple History

Shri. Dhanwantari Temple Parappur is one of the ancient temples in Kerala, dedicated to Lord Dhanwatari, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is considered as the Ayurveda Moorthy(God of Ayurvedic Medicine) and the physician of Gods. According to the Puranas, during the great churn of the cosmic milk ocean (Palazhy) by the Demi-gods (Devas) and Demons (Asuras), this avatar of Lord Vishnu emerged with Amrutha Kumbha(Elixir). Lord Dhanwatari is a benevolent Moorthy who eradicates diseases and gives sound heath to all who pray to him. In Kerala only a few temples installed the Lord Danwatari with Amruta Kumbham as the presiding deity. Shri Dhanwantari Temple Parappur is the most prominent among them. Other Dhanwantari Temples are Pulamanthole Dhanwantari Temple, Maruthorvattom Dhanwantari Temple, Nelluvai Dhanwanthari Temple and Peringavu Dhanwanthari Temple. Originally, Shri. Dhanwantari Temple Parappur was the family temple of the Ashtavaidya family of Parappur Mooss. They worshipped Lord Dhanwatari as their Paradevatha. Parappur Read More
