Kadachira Sri Thrikkapalam Siva Temple

Kadachira Sri Thrikkapalam Siva Temple sits on the banks of the Anjarakandi River in Peralassery and displays traditional Kerala architecture. The temple holds two separate sanctums, each with its own representation of the deity.

The temple traces back to ancient times when sage Parasurama consecrated the main idol. This foundation makes it one of 108 significant Shiva temples in Kerala.

The temple is dedicated to Dakshinamurthy, with two separate sanctums housing different representations of this deity. The dual shrines reflect how this form of the god, associated with knowledge and teaching, is revered in local worship practices.

The temple is located near Peralassery junction and is easily accessible via the Kannur-Koothuparamba state highway. Visitors can reach the site directly from this main road.

This is one of three Thrikkapaleeswaram temples mentioned in the list of 108 Shiva temples in Kerala. The other two are located in Niranam and Nadapuram, forming a triad of sacred temples.
