History of Temple
Cochin Thirumala Devaswom, also called Gosripuram, is the principal religious institution of the Gowda Saraswat Brahmin community of Kerala. It stands in the Cherlai quarter of Mattancherry, one of the community's earliest settlements, and was established in the later half of the sixteenth century.
The sanctum enshrines Venkateswara with Sridevi and Bhoodevi, and the compound holds shrines to Mahalakshmi, Hanuman, Garuda and Vigneshwara. The Vrindavan of Sukrathindra Thirtha of Kashi Math and statues of the Vijayanagara king Saluva Narasimha Deva Raya and the teacher Vijayendra Theertha are also part of the temple complex.
