The Sree Ananthapadmanabha Swamy temple in Kumbala village is a 9th or 10th century Hindu historic site in north Kerala. The village is sometimes referred after this temple and called Ananthapuram.
It is notable for its Vishnu temple inside a square water tank (300 x 300 feet). The temple is therefore also called Ananthapura Lake temple of Vishnu.
Around the water tank and in the village of Kumbla are ruins and laterite prakara walls – remains of lost Hindu temples and desecrated monuments. This includes a cave monument that was closed at the time of the field visit in 2022. The temple consists of a foot bridge, a namaskara mandapam, a thidapali, shrines for Ganesha, Devi and Shiva traditions, an antarala, two dwarapalas flanking the sanctum, and a Sreekovil for Vishnu as Ananthapadmanabha Swamy. Some of these have been restored in the 19th and 20th centuries. The ceilings have notable wood artwork such as of Dasavatara and Navagraha. The temple also has murals of the ten avatars of Vishnu.
The lake (tank) surrounding the main temple is popular for its solitary crocodile, introduced as a symbolism for Gajendra moksha legend in Vaishnavism.
