Oachira Temple, Hindu temple in Kollam district, Kerala, India.

The expansive temple complex features multiple water bodies and prayer spaces dedicated to Parabrahma, without traditional idol installations or deity representations.

Established over 1500 years ago, the temple stands as a testament to ancient Hindu architectural traditions and continues its role as a major pilgrimage destination.

The annual Oachira Kali festival brings together thousands of devotees who participate in traditional rituals, processions, and communal meals called Sadya.

Visitors can reach the temple via regular bus services from Kollam city, with accommodation options available in nearby towns at moderate prices.

This temple differs from conventional Hindu sanctuaries as it worships the formless supreme spirit through sacred ponds rather than physical idols.
