The Kuladevata mandir complex at Ambalamedu houses eight kuladevata temples in a single complex adjacent to the Kashi mutt ashram. The concept of eight family deities in one compound is a rare one and thus the complex attracts pilgrims not only from Kerala but from other parts of India as well.

Ambalamedu is situated at about 15kms from Ernakulam town and is about 5 km from Tripunithura. One can have regular city buses plying between Ernakulam and Ambalamedu.

The construction of the complex was started in 1989 and completed in 1993.
