A monument reminding the new generations of these struggles could be seen in the heart of the town, in front of the Town Police Station. The brutal crackdown by British military resulted in death of many freedom fighters including Veeraraghavan. Neyyattinkara is the land of many uprisings against British rule in India. Neyyattinkara is the birthplace of renowned revolutionaries like Swadeshabhimani Ramakrishna Pillai, Athazhamangalam VeeraRaghavan who fought for Indian independence and against the dictatorial rule of Travancore Diwans. This temple was built by Marthanda Varma in the year 1755, as a thanksgiving to the Lord Krishna, who helped him to win the ordeal. The jack tree popularly known as 'Ammachiplavu' (Grandmother Jack Tree) since then, could still be seen preserved in the Shri Krishna Swamy Temple located in the heart of the town. At that time, a mysterious child asked the King to hide himself inside the hollow trunk of a large jack tree standing there. The King prayed to Lord Krishna for helping him as he was being surrounded by the enemies. According to the legend it was here the Travancore king Marthanda Varma once hid inside the hollow trunk of a Jackfruit tree to escape from his enemies during his war against the 'ettuveetil pillamar' (the eight nair chieftains). Sree Krishna Swami Temple in the town-centre stands as a rare example of merger between legend and reality. Sreekrishna Swami Temple, Neyyattinkara Town founded by Marthanda Varma in 1775
