Thirunelli
Located 32 km from Mananthavady and about 66 km from Kalpetta, Thirunelli
is a scenic beauty and attracts tourists throughout the year. Set in the idyllic
backdrop of the Brahmagiri hills, Thirunelli charms you not only with its pristine,
scenic beauty and the chattering streams of the Papanasini spring, but also the
serene, calm ambience of the Vishnu temple in the valley.
It is believed
that Lord Brahma, the Creator, himself installed the idol of the presiding deity
of the temple - Sree Vishnu, the Preserver and the second member of the Trinity
in Hindu mythology.
Even the very names of the hills and streams of Thirunelli
bear a divine charm - Brahmagiri, the hills of Brahma; Papanasini, the destroyer
of sins and so on. Considered a destination of immense beauty and drawn by the
divine power of it's deity, visitors stream to Thirunelli throughout the year
except during heavy monsoons
