Krishnapuram Athirthi Chira to get face lift

 
Glad news for the lovers of Onattukara culture and traditions who cherish the historic edifices left over by the Kayamkulam kingdom and those who value the importance of a place like Krishnapuram. The age-old Athirthi Chira at Krishnapuram, near Kayamkulam, the place where the horses of the Kayamkulam kingdom were given a bath according to the legend, will be converted into a cultural tourist center by the State Government. The Athirthi chira, which is situated at a Stone's throw from the Krishnapuram palace known for its Gajendra Moksham paintings, will have a newfound look once the cultural tourist center project is completed.
