The Sree Krishna Swami temple at Ambalapuzha which is also known as "DWARAKA" is one of the ancient temples of Kerala and in much connected with the history of Travancore. It is needless to point out the fame of the Ambalapuzha paalppayasam. Paalppayasam is prepared every day in a large quantity but devotees have to book their order for getting the paalppayasam sufficiently earlier. Paalppayasam is being prepared according to some traditional methods and unique in its taste and still thousands of devotees conduct this offering and take the paalppayasa prasadam to different parts of the country. This temple structure was built by Pooradam Thirunal Devanarayanan, the king of Ambalapuzha (also known as Chembakassery). He was born on A. D. 1623. The well known Ambalapuzha Payasam is got from here and is done as the main offering.
