The famous Nagaraja temple "Mannarasala" is nestled in a forest glade, like most snake temples. The Mannarasala Temple has over 30,000 images of snakes along the paths and among the trees, and is the largest such temple in Kerala. Women seeking fertility come to worship here, and upon the birth of their child come to hold thanksgiving ceremonies here, often bringing new snake images as offerings
The temple is located about three kilometers to the south-east of the bus station in N.H.47 at Haripad, in Alappuzha district of Kerala. It is approximately 115 km from Cochin International Airport and 125 km from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport.
