'''Keezhperoor''' ('''kīḻpērūr''', '''Kilapperur''', '''Kizhperur''') or '''Kupaka''' is a village located 6 kilometers from [[Kilimanoor]] in [[Thiruvananthapuram]] district of [[Kerala]]. It houses [[Thirupalkadal Sreekrishnaswamy Temple]], family temple of [[Venad]], [[Kizhakkumkara Devi Temple]], and [[Thekkumkara Mahadeva Temple.]]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Keezhperoor was the capital of [[Ay Kingdom]] and later [[Venad]] dynasty. During the Ay period, the place was known as [[Periyaoor]], later divided into Kizhperiyaoor and Melperiyaoor. [[Thirupalkadal Sreekrishnaswamy Temple]] was the family temple of [[Ay kingdom]] and [[Venad]] dynasty which is believed to be 1200 years old. The evidence regarding the existence of Keezhperoor and [[Thirupalkadal Sreekrishnaswamy Temple]] is in different copper plates and is available from 843 AD.<br />
