Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple

Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple is a Hindu temple located in the city of Kochi, the capital of the former Kingdom of Cochin, Kerala, India. The temple is considered among the greatest temples in Kerala. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who is in the form of Santhanagopala Murthy. The temple is designed in accordance with Kerala temple architecture. A major fire occurred in 1920, which destroyed much of the original structure, particularly the sanctum sanctorum which was built extensively in wood. This led to redesigning the temple in concrete, for the first time in Kerala. Designed by the illustrious architect Sri Eachara Warrier, the temple was redesigned with concrete structure, covered cleverly with copper plates, wooden panels and granite tiles to recreate the traditional structure feeling.
