THE KOZHIKODE TALI - THE SEAT OF PATTANAM

The Tali has certain uniques that make it a class by itself. Here, in one and the same prakara, there arc two separate, independent temples, and each has its own distinct entity and is flourishing without any kind of least disturbance to the other. The Siva temple is an ancient one and has its own Srikoil, nalambalam, flag - staff etc. 

It is two-storeyed and quadrangular in shape. Its exterior is adorned with excellent stone sculptures of high craftsmanship. There are three rooms inside the Srikoil, an unusual feature found here. It panels and murals arc of exceptional artistry and are depicting many episodes from our legends. The mukhamandapa is equally beautified with beautiful woodcarvings.
