The Tiruvangad
Sri Rama Temple in North Kerala is indeed considered very important with unique
characteristics of architecture. There are ever so many temples in Kerala dedicated to
Siva, Krishna and Devi. But for Rama there are only three great temples. The Tiruvangad
Sri Rama temple is one of them. The other two temples are Triprayar, near Guruvayur, and
Tiruvilwamala near Palghat, described in chapters 14 and 17 respectively.
Tiruvangad is about 2 km. from Tellicherry station, which is 69 km. to the north of
Calicut on the Madras-Mangalore line of the Southern Railway. It is a small town typical
of Kerala. The temple is situated on a vast maidan of about six acres. In front, about
three hundred meters away, there is a large chira or tank measuring about two acres. |
