Krishnapuram Poem by Ramesh T A

Suddenly stopped they at the Krishnapuram Krishna Temple

Made famous by the frequent visits of the dignitaries.

The statues standing in an array in the front hall

Show the immortal artists’ skill in display there;

The depiction of human emotion, passion, anger, pain,

Arrogance and valour impress one as if they are alive!

Lord Krishna of the Temple is the exact replica

Of Lord Venkateswara of Tirumala Tirupati

With two Devies standing on both sides.

The uncared Temple lost lustre of artistic treasure

Before the eyes of the public due to long neglect.

With such an impression and opinion the pals

Preceded their journey towards Kanyakumari.
