In Kerala there are lots of Lord Sri Krishna Temples. Trichambaram Temple in Kannur is a famous one. This temple is situated about 1 km from Taliparamba town in Kannur District of Northern Malabar. The sculptures on the walls are very famous. The fortnight long temple utsavam (festival) is a colourful event. It begines with the Kodiyettam (Hoisting of the relegious flag) on Kumbham 22 (in Malayalam Calender) which normally falls on March 6 and comes to an end on Meenam 6 (which generallay falls on March 20) with Koodipiriyal (Ending of this festival). In between these dates, for 11 days, thitambu nriththam (a sort of dance with deities of Lord Krishna and his brother Balarama) is held at Pookoth Nada (1 km from Trichambaram temple). i.e on the High-way road. Thousands of people gather here to celebrate this festival.
