Legend has it that the Rajah of Cochin, Rama Verma, was forced to move the royal seat from Perumpadappu to Thripu-nithura, following an invasion by a rival King .The shift pained the Rajah, more so, because it also meant being away from the Guruvayur Temple in his old kingdom. A fervent devotee of Lord Krishna, he vowed to build a similar one in his territory. And to be close to the diety, in the quiet, peaceful hamlet of Cherranelloor, he built a tiny palace, just for himself.The shift pained the Rajah, more so, because it also meant being away from the Guruvayur Temple in his old kingdom.
