Palluruthy Sree Dhanwanthari Temple

This Devaswom in Palluruthy has been established by GS Brahmins in Cochin.

The deity of this temple is Dhanwanthari, the physician of Gods. The idol made of Krishna Sila (black granite stone) is four-handed. The right upper hand holds a Chakra (wheel) and the lower hand holds a Leach between the index finger and the thumb. Other three fingers show upright. The left upper-hand holds a Conch while lower hand holds a Pot with Nector. The sanctum sanctorum of the temple is square-shaped and constructed in Nagara style of architecture.

Dhanwanthari is the incarnation of Vishnu. Gowda Saraswatha Brahmins call it Ayurveda Moorthi. Dhanwanthari is a particular wing of Ayurveda science. Gowda Saraswath Brahmins are very fond of Lord Dhanwanthari and there are many eminent Ayurvedic physicians in Saraswath segment. Babha Sharma Prabhu was a born Ayurvedic physician among them.

He was an ardent devotee of Lord Dhanwanthari. One day he had a dream that a sculptor will prepare a granite stone idol of Lord Dhanwanthari and that he should construct a temple and install it so that he can visit and give solace to the ill inflicted. As felt in the dream, one day a sculptor came to Sharma Prabhu who promptly ordered him to carve out an idol of Lord Dhanwanthari and the sculptor did so. Sharma Prabhu constructed a shrine and installed the idol. Daily rituals and worships followed. Soon the region was free from illness, a legend says so.

The Maharaja of Kochi had also experienced the healing power of Lord Dhanwanthari.
In the month of Medam (April/May) there is a 3-day Aarat festival which is celebrated with great fanfare. Dhanwanthari Jayanthi (birth day of Dhanwanthari) is also celebrated on a big scale.

The important offerings to the deity are Devak Deevap, Thailabhishekam, Thulabharam and Satynarayana Pooja.

Shilpa Society for the Mentally Handicapped

Shilpa Society was formally formed by a group of dedicated doctors, advocates, chartered accountants, teachers and parents of mentally handicapped in 1996 and registered under the Travancore Cochin Literary and Scientific Act of 1951. (Reg No :ER 97 / 97 ) . Under the activities of the society, about 100 mentally disabled children are directly benefitted, and many more are indirectly benefited by home management training, parent counselling and special coaching for the learning disability children.

Shilpa was the daughter of Dr.Harimohan & Dr. Premila. She was a beautiful child, soft gentle and graceful with long hair but unlike other children she was born mentally disabled. She was tiny and fragile and had recurrent attacks of fits, she also had a congenital ventricular septal defect (Hole in the heart) and so prone to many illnesses. She bore her sufferings patiently. Even though her heart problems was solved, she continued to be troubled by constant attacks of fits. When she was eleven years old after one such severe attack, she went into a coma from which she never recovered. Shilpa left this world on December 1st 1995 .It was a great loss for her parents as their life centered on her and it was difficult to fill the vacuum created by her loss.

It became clear to them that Shilpa’s memory can last forever only if sincere service is done to children like her and their rich experience in this field would benefit others. With the help of several friends, a Charitable Organisation called Shilpa Society for Mentally handicapped was formed on December 1st 1996, first death anniversary of Shilpa.The Shilpa Society is committed to selfless service to the mentally handicapped to improve their quality of life. All its activities are focused on this principle.
