THE TEMPLE:
This
sacred temple built on a vast six-acre land is deemed one of the biggest of its
kind by Kerala standards. It has a massive prakara and a tall three tiered tower
over the gateway, facing east and another on the west. Its architectural beauty
is of high order and detains the visitors with its beauty. The circular Sri Koil
enshrining the images of Lord Siva in the front, facing the east and Mother
Pavathi facing west, just behind in the same garbha-griha but separated by a wall
with passage. This is one of the distinctive features of the temple that indeed
marks it out from the rest of the temples found anywhere in India.
