Human life is nothing but a medley of aspirations, fears and afflictions. We look for fulfillment and solace in temples and other places of worship. Kanadikavu Sree Vishnumaya Kuttichathan temple in kerala is one such abode where the most benevolent deity of Vishnumaya swami showers his blessings abundantly on devotees for gratification of their desires and relief from fears and afflictions. The little Lord Sree Vishumaya Kuttichathan, is ever benign and magnanimous, as he bestows his divine grace on one and all who visits his abode, regardless of gender, religion or cast. It is believed that the legend of Chathan or Sashtha as he became to be known later, goes back hundreds of years when the tribes and Dravidian communities existed in Kerala.

Kanadikavu Sree Vishnumaya Kuttichathan Temple is located at Peringottukkara in Thrissur district with easy access, both by road and rail. It is located just 3 kms from Thriprayar Sree Ramaswami temple and about 23 kms from Thrissur railway station. Legend has it that Konnamuthappan, a great seer and sage, realized that a powerful deity’s presence and blessings was required for the well being of humanity. He prayed to his family deity who appeared before him and advised him to please Lord Vishumaya Kuttichathan swamy, the son of Sree Parameswaran and Adiparashakthi. The Goddess advised him the moola manthra to pray and appease Lord Vishnumaya Kuttichathan. The sage then went to the Himalayas and performed severe penance, which pleased the Kuttichathan Swamy and he accompanied the sage to Peringottukara. Sree Vishnumaya Kuttichathan was invoked and installed at Kanadi.
