The deity of the temple is Sree Krishna. The annual Trichambaram Temple festival (Utsavam) is a colourful event. The fortnight-long festival begins on Kumbham 22 (March 6) every year with the kodiyettam (hoisting of a flag) and comes to an end on Meenam 6 (March 20) with Koodipiriyal (Ending of this festival). In between these dates, for 11 days is held at "Pookoth Nada". The temple festival is attended by thousands of devotees every year. The decorated Idol of Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama are carried on the head by the priests and is taken on a procession to "Pookkothu Nada". Idol of "Balarama", brother of Sri Krishna, is brought from Dharmikulanagara temple at Mazhoor, 4 Km away from the Trichambaram Temple, accompanied by Melam and hundreds of devotees on Kumbham 22 (March 6). It is believed that Sree Krishna and Balarama are playing together. One of the days during the Utsavam time, Idols of Sree Krishna and Balarama are taken through the village on a procession called "Nadu Valam Vekkal" .
