LORD SIVA OF ETTAMANUR

THE TEMPLE

The holy shrine bears striking resemblance to the Vaikatappan temple at Vaikom in its vastness and constructional designs, but differs in one aspect - it is built at a lower level, say about four or five feet below the road level. The plinth area rises above a hollow ground far below the surroundings. The Srikoil is also circular in shape and adorned with a conical roof covered with copper plates and shining Kalasam atop.
