Parasurama (one of Lord Vishnu's "avathar") during his journey to Kerala concentrated on the construction of temples. He constructed a city of towers and mansions decorated with gold and precious stones. He made a menagerie for elephants with arrangements for feeding and breeding. This place is known as "The sacred Village of elephant "(Thiru-Karipuram) and later on "Thrikkaripuram" (similar to Thrikkanamathilakam which was originally Thiru-Kana Mathilakam) which with the passage of time came to be known as the present day "Thrikaripur".
