The presiding deity of this temple is Lord Vishnu. Siva, Ganapathi and Sastha idols
are main sub deities in the temple. The idol of Ganapathi is carved at the outside
of Krishna Sreekovil, facing towards South. Such a Ganapathi idol is very rare among
the temples in India.
The history of Sri Vasudevapuram Temple lies along with the ancient Hindu mythology.
It is believed by the devotees that Sri Vasudevapuram Temple was built by the Mahathma
Sri Vilwamangalam Swamiyar, who was a devout Brahmin. It is believed that the idol
in the temple have been worshiped by Sri Vilwamangalam Swamiyar. The temple is built
for his mother for offering prayers during her old age. After the disappearance
of the mortal body of Sri Vilwamangalm Swamiyar, that devine idol was installed
in a temple as per temple rituals for the benefit of common people. The remnants
of his house (known as “Illathara”) are presently seen near to the temple. This
historical truth concretes the belief that the temple was built by Sri. Vilwamangalam
Swamiyar.
Ashtami Rohini in Chingam (August-September) is the birthday of Lord Krishna. That
is celebrated every year with cultural programs, procession, and special poojas
including Guru pooja (Yatheeswara pooja) and Ashtami Rohini Pooja. The devotees
are given special feast on this day.
Niraputhari: This takes place in the month of Chingam. Puthari means new rice. It
is the formal beginning of the use of rice after the new harvest season. It is a
tradition in Sanatana Dharma that any food, item or work is offered (dedicated)
to Lord before it is used. Puthari payasam is offered to Lord.
Kuchela Dinam: The first Wednesday of the month of Dhanu (December) is celebrated
as Kuchela Dinam. It is based on the belief that it was on this day that Kuchela,
an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna offered Avil (parched rice) to him and in return
attained eternal bliss and material prosperity. Avil offering is considered auspicious
on this day.
