Devotees worship Sree Dhanwanthari with a lot of devotion to cure their ailments. According to Indian concept, Sree Dhanwanthari is the Lord of Ayurveda, a system of traditional medicine native to India. Good health is prime for long life of all the species on the earth. Health means the status of no ailments and to maintain the status of no ailments, blessings of God almighty is imperative. Veda being the way to know the God and Ayurveda as an Upaveda, it is the base for Indian Style of Medicine.
According to Puranas, due to the curse of Sree Durvasa Rishi, the Devas in the heaven lost their youthfulness and became aged with ailments and those ailing Devas approached in desperation Sree Mahavishnu for deliverance. He advised for churning Palazhi to get Amruthu and consume it to cure their ailments.
When the Devas churned Palazhi (ocean of milk) with the help of Asuras, there came first, the worst poison called Halahalam and Sree Paramasivan consumed it to save the three worlds from ruin. Finally, there came Sree Mahavishnu incarnated as merciful Sree Dhanwanthari from Palazhi with Amritha Kumbam in his hands and Sree Dhanwanthari became the God of medicine. All the Ayurveda physicians see Sree Dhanwanthari as their Guru and worship with devotion. Thrissur Thaikkatu Mooss worshiped Sree Dhanwanthari in Peringavu as their Prime Deity of Worship. Kerala has 8 prominent Ashtavaidyans and the most prominent of them are Thaikkatu Mooss and Kuttancheri Mooss. All of them worshiped Sree Dhanwanthari as their Physician God who is also another incarnation of Sree Mahavishnu.

Ashtamirohini, or Janmashtami, is celebrated with reverence in Sri Dhanwanthari Temples, marking the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. The day carries unique significance as it reflects the dual blessings of Lord Krishna's divine playfulness and Dhanwanthari's healing energy. Devotees begin the day with rituals like special Abhishekam (sacred bathing) of Dhanwanthari idol, using herbal-infused water and fragrant oils, symbolizing health and purification. Traditional poojas, Krishna bhajans, and recitals of the Bhagavad Gita fill the temple, creating a spiritually uplifting atmosphere. Temples are adorned with flowers, oil lamps, while devotees prepare offerings of butter, fruits, and Ayurvedic prasadam. The highlight of the celebration is the Uriyadi (breaking of the pot), a playful event reenacting Krishna’s childhood mischief, accompanied by devotional singing and vibrant participation from the community. Special Ayurvedic health camps are often organized, promoting the temple's focus on healing, alongside spiritual well-being. This dual celebration of Krishna's divine play and Dhanwanthari's nurturing presence draws devotees seeking blessings for happiness, health, and prosperity, making the festival a unique blend of devotion and wellness.

Vinayaka Chaturthi is a significant festival celebrated in many Hindu temples, including Sri Dhanwanthari Temples. While Lord Ganesha is the primary deity honoured during Vinayaka Chaturthi, his connection to health, obstacles, and well-being makes this festival meaningful in a Dhanwanthari Temple, where the focus is on healing and health. Lord Ganesha as the Remover of Obstacles: Devotees first worship Ganesha to remove obstacles in life, including those related to health, before offering prayers to Lord Dhanwanthari. Holistic Blessings: The dual worship of Ganesha and Dhanwanthari symbolizes seeking holistic well-being—spiritual and physical health. Special Homas are performed to invoke Lord Ganesha's blessings. Offerings of herbs and Ayurvedic ingredients, aligning with the temple's focus on health and healing, are used during the homam.

Sree Dhanwanthari, the Deity of Ayurveda is the incarnation of Sree Mahavishnu. The temples dedicated to Sree Dhanwanthari are very rare and our temple situates just 3 kms from Thrissur, the cultural capital of Kerala, in the village called Peringavu, Thrissur District, Kerala State.
Seeking the benediction of the Sree Dhanwnathari, hundreds of devotees visit the temple. They pray for their Ayur Arogya Saukhyam, means good health and long life. People with ailments to get their ailments cured, Doctors for getting the Lord’s blessings for their professional success and growth, flock to the temple with great trust. Many devotees come for Bhajan Sitting (worshipping in the temple by being present for all the pujas for a fixed number of days) and go back with much solace. It is believed and trusted that any Prasadam received from the temple has immense medicinal value.
The temple is more than 900 yrs old and it was under the control the Maharajas of Cochin. Later the temple and adjoining areas were bestowed to the famous Ashtavaidyan Thaikkattu Mooss, the then Kottaram Vaidyan of Maharajas of Cochin for their commendable ayurvedic achievements. Later Pazhanelli Achhan Mooss of the famous Thaikkattu Mana did the renovation and Puna-Prathista of Sree Dhanwanthari Moorthy. It is due the benediction of Sree Dhanwanthari Moorthy, Ashtavaidyans of Taikattu Mooss got their talent in Ayurveda treatment. Later Kochunni Tampuran of Cochin Dynasty came to worship in the temple and achieved great talent in Visha-Chikilsa due to the blessings of Sree Dhanwanthari. He constructed Chuttambalam and compound wall of the temple. He even used the Bhasmam of the temple as medicine for Visha-Chikilsa or poison treatment
In 1968, Sree Ashtavaidyan Thaikkattu Narayanan Mooss handed over the ownership of the temple to the Peringavu Devaswom Committee elected from the Hindu Community of Peringavu Village or Thattakam. On 21st August 1974, Mooss handed over all the documents of ownership to the Peringavu Devaswom. From that day onwards the chief patron of the temple was one of the members of this Illam. Now, Ashtavaidyan Thycattu Dr. P T N Vasudevan Mooss, the MD of SNA Oushadhasala, is the chief patron of the temple. This process of administration continued till date. The temple made a lot of progress under the various Devaswom Committees like construction and renovation of Pradikshina vazhi, Valiambalam, Chuttambalam, Namaskara Mandapam, Ganapathi Kshetram, Ayyappa Kshetram, covering Sreekovil with bronze sheet, laying of stones inside Valiambalam, truss work of Nadappuras around the temple, renovation of temple pond etc. A new sculpturally adorned temple gopuram , temple office, vazhipadu counter, stage, annadaana mandapam, quarters for temple employees were built.
