Asramam Sree Krishna Swamy Temple is a Sreekrishna temple in the district of Kollam,[1] Kerala,[2] South India located on the shores of Ashtamudi Lake.[3] Lord Krishna in the form of Navaneet Krishnan or Krishna with Butter is worshiped here. The temple sits on the top of a mount created by digging earth from a nearby place, which now forms the temple pond.

Sub-deities include Swamy Ayyappan (a separate temple building with the 18 holy steps of Sabarimala present), Naga Devatas and Navagrahas.

Kollam pooram is the culmination of a ten-day festival, normally in mid April, of Ashramam Sreekrishna swamy temple.[4]
