Sasthamcotta Sree Dharma Sastha Temple

After evening the energy in atmosphere is different. And the bhajan/music awesome 🤩

Calm and quite atmosphere...
Run by devaswam board...
Lot of trees are there.. you can see lit of monkey's also. Near by lake's is one of the best attraction... Temple dwaja renovation work is undergoing.. lot of parking in front of the temple.. very rush in morning. Few boat's are there in the lake. But make sure about the security measures before using the same. I don't thik it's having enough security measures... Nice place..

Such a serene and beautiful temple. On the banks of Sasthamkota lake and dense flora and trees the temple premises are extremely calming and soothing. There are monkeys on the trees which are called 'Ambalakurangan' (temple monkeys) which are associated with the temple and eat the food and fruits given by the temple. Ample parking available for cars in front of the temple.
Really satisfying visit to the temple.

A calm temple in the side of sasthamcotta lake of dharmasastha. It is believed that sabarimala sastha came here for the sake of one pandalam king. The fish, monkeys and a crocodile (now no crocodile ) become part of temple. Spl feeding for monkey is an offering to god

One of the most dominant Shastha Temple in Kerala.It is located at Shastamcotta in Kollam District. The location of the temple itself is something that u dont come across daily. The temple is surrounded by Shastamcotta lake and thus the surrounding area is so peaceful and refreshing. Another important aspect of the temple is that, it's full of monkeys. That's right!, monkeys wander all around the temple. There is even a small Bhojanashala for the apes.The atmosphere and vibe of the temple is outmatched. 👌
Talking about the temple,other pratishtas include Lord shiva,Yakshi, Nagas and Ganesh. There is ample parking space and toilet facilities are also available.
Definitely a must visit temple in Kerala.
!Swamy Sharanam!

Sasthamcotta Sri Dharmasastha temple is located near Sasthamcotta Lake . The monkeys are the main attraction of the temple . The Temple Festival is celebrated in Malayalam Month 'Kumbham' . The 'Kettukazhcha' is the main attraction of the festival.

It's an important sree dharmasastha temple. Ambiance is so good. Lots of monkeys are there, it will be a nice experience for all. Fresh water lake is nearby. Good place for worship.
Enough parking facility available. Daily annadhanam available .

The temple in which Lord Rama left some of the monkey warriors whole returning back after looking Ravana. The temple has lots of those monkeys current generations. An excellent place to worship Lord Sastha.

Great place to visit., but the toilet condition is very pathetic. If someone comes to the temple and wish to take a bath or for natural causes before entering, they may need to take a vehicle and go to Bharanikkavu and get the things done and come back.

Very good Temple situated near the shasthamcotta pure water lake
Nice ambience and fresh atmosphere.

The DB College is situated near the Temple

Extremely beautiful temple nearby Sasthamcotta fresh water lake, there are many stories and life events which ancestors told about this historic place. So peaceful place.

This temple having natural atmosphere near the Kerala s largest freshwater lake and this temple is related to our ramyana stories we can seen also monkeys in this place.

Good Temple, especially the scenario around this temple. Beautiful Sasthancotta lake covering this temple is an excellent view. The monkeys surrounding this temple are very disciplined. There is a legend behind this temple, it is said that Lord Hanuman had went to this place while traveling to Lanka. This temple is famous for Lord Ayyappa (It is the presiding Deity).

A calm and serene landscape and a blissfully satisfying experience. Located on the banks of the lake, a very divine and famous temple. Must visit place for an Ayyappa devotee.

I love the total ambience inside the temple. Feels like we are inside a tharavaad or illam. The idol of Lord Sree Dharmasastha looks so divine.
Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa 🙏
