Sri Maha Ganapathi Temple

The entrance of Sri Ganapathi Mantapam (Hall) at the ashram in Sreekrishnapuram, Palakkad district, houses the beautiful temple of Sri Maha Ganapathi, facing eastward looking towards the lush green paddy fields and plantain plantations.

This temple is at the entrance of the Saraswathi Mantapam and Lakshmi Mantapam, enabling devotees to offer their respects to Sri Maha Ganapathi first before visiting other temples or attending to any service.

Devotees who enter the Mantapam first offer their obeisance to Sri Maha Ganapathi, and break coconuts in front of the altar with a prayer to fulfill their desires or to thank God for having fulfilled their desires.

A large Uruli (traditional Kerala vessel) is placed in front of the temple, enabling devotees to put their offerings into the vessel. People offer grains, fruits, vegetables, agro products, which is used to make Prasadam for God and then distributed to the devotees.

Sri Maha Ganapathi is the Kshethra Paalaka - the one who is the caretaker of the temple, devotees, and its premises. It is important to offer prayers to Sri Maha Ganapathi first, as Lord Ganapathi would clear all the obstacles and enables one to offer prayers without any hindrances.
