Religious Places
These are the religious places in Manjapra, Holy Cross Church, Karppillikkavu Sree Mahadeva Temple, St. George Church and Puthoorppilly Sree Krishnaswamy Temple.
Karppillikkavu temple is one of the rare temples in Kerala in which Mahadeva is giving "Darshan" to the west. Puthoorppilly temple is also known as "Kallamabalam" because of its unique architecture where the sanctum sanctorum is made of "Kallu"-Malayalam for stone-. Legend says that this has been made by the "Bhuthaganas" of Lord Shiva overnight. The temple is a protected site by the Archaeological Survey of India and managed by the Travancore Devaswom Board.
The main church, Holy Cross Church Manjapra, is another religious hotspot in Ernakulam district in Kerala. The church celebrates the feast "perunnal" of St. Sebastian and St.Mary in the months of January and November every year. It is believed the church was built about 500 years ago and the monument of this construction is still protected. Sebipuram church situated in the northside of manjapra, celebrates the feast of St.Sebastian and St.Alphonsa during the months of January and Auguest every year.
Manjapra is a blessed landmark where Christians and Hindus share equal strength in population. Both the groups live in harmony and they celebrate the festivals united. The proximity to Angamaly and Kalady and the harmony among the people makes this village a fabulous place to live.
