An integral part of the temple town of Thrissur, the Sree Seetharamaswamy Temple, Pushpagiri, established on 11-06-1899, is situated 6 degrees Northwest of the mighty Vadakkunnathan Temple. The Seetharamaswamy Temple, Pushpagiri enshrines Lord Seetharaman within the ‘Srikovil’ that boasts a stunning ‘Gajaprashta’ spire that is not commonly seen in Kerala temple architecture. Apart from Sita Rama enshrined in the main sanctum facing west, Hanuman, Lakshmana, Ganapati, Sri Parvati, Shiva, and Subrahmanya, are also enshrined in the temple, and now the Navagraha and Dharmashasta are separately enshrined within the premises. There is also a Shiva temple a little away from the sanctum sanctorum but within this temple's premises. The eminence of various prestigious temples in the town of Thrissur is a direct reflection of the spiritual evolution of its inhabitants.

The temple is now managed by the Temple Managing Committee consisting of Sri. T.S. Kalyanaraman, Sri. T.A. Balaraman, Sri. T.R. Rajagopalan (Sr. Advocate), Sr. T.S. Ramakrishnan (Executive Trustee).
