Located just 14 kilometers away from Alleppey is the Amabalapuzha Sree Krishna Temple. This temple is one of the few temples in Kerala that have survived time. Sri. Devanarayan, the ruler of Chempakasherri built sometime during 15-17 AD. Later on, the city of Chembakasherri came to be known as Amabalapuzha which was then even later changed to Alleppey. Architecturally speaking, the Amabalapuzha Sree Krishna Temple was built in the style that is typically seen in the state of Kerala. This temple is particularly famous throughout Kerala for Palpayasam, a milk porridge of exceptional sweetness offered to the deity also called Dwaraka of South. It is Dwaraka of the South that this temple is dedicated to.
