The Secret "Tirupati" Island Hidden in Kerala's Backwaters! 🌴 (Vilakkumadom) TV Puram (Thirumani Venkitapuram) is a historically significant panchayat in the Kottayam district, located about 5 km from Vaikom along the Vembanad lake. this specific locality earned its name due to its proximity to the grand temple structures—specifically the Thirumani Venkitapuram Sreeramaswamy Temple . While the local temple is worshipped today as a Sreeramaswamy (Lord Rama) temple, the physical stone idol inside is structurally a four-armed Mahavishnu holding the Shanka and Chakra. This structural form mirrors the classic iconography of the Lord of Tirupati. Historically, this area housed the elevated stone or wooden lamp pathways that were lit every evening to guide travelers navigating the dark backwaters by boat.
