Kannan Swami's Krishna Catering - Since 1935
For over 90 years, Krishna Catering has been the custodian of Kerala’s most sacred culinary traditions. Founded on the enduring legacy of Sri Velappaya Krishna Iyer, the celebrated temple chef and royal caterer of Travancore, and elevated by his grandson Velappaya Kannan Swami aka “Paladakannan”, Krishna Catering is more than a food service—it is a multi-generational devotion to excellence, purity, and the divine joy of a well-prepared sadhya.
Today, under the dynamic leadership of Rahul Krishnan, a fourth-generation culinary professional with global hospitality credentials, Krishna Catering proudly bridges ancient Traditional Sadhya recipes with contemporary standards of fine dining, scale, and innovation.
Velappaya Krishna Iyer
A pioneering figure in Kerala’s culinary heritage, Velappaya Krishna Iyer laid the foundation for one of South India’s most revered catering traditions. Honoured by royalty and respected by generations, his legacy continues to inspire.
Kannan Swami
K. H. Krishnan (1972–2024), affectionately known as Velappaya Kannan Swami aka “Paladakannan”, was a visionary caterer who transformed Kerala’s sadya tradition with precision, innovation, and spiritual depth. Founder of Krishna Catering, Thrissur, he blended ancestral values with world-class culinary standards—leaving behind a legacy measured not just in meals served, but in hearts touched.
