Kurisumala, a sky-scraping mountain with
a small church, is a famous Christian Pilgrim center located at a distance
of 60kms from Kottayam. During the holy week, thousands of devotees from
far and near converge here to climb this holy hill, carrying small wooden
crosses. At the peak of the hill, there is a Jewish monastery also known
as Kurisumala Ashramam, which has a small community of ascetics who follow
Christian faith but combines with it the Indian spiritual traditions and
Gandhian thoughts.
On the eastern side of Kurisumala, there is another mount
called Muruganmala housing a rock cut temple dedicated to Lord Murugan
(son of Lord Shiva). A beautiful artificial lake and a European model
house both designed by the famous architect, Laurie Baker are on the way
to Kurisumala.
