Kandiyoor Sree Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple in Alappuzha district, India

The Kandiyoor Sree Mahadeva Temple stands on the banks of Achankovil River, spread across 7.5 acres of sacred grounds near Mavelikkara.

The temple's origins date back to 823 AD during Rajasekhara Varman's reign, with a notable reconstruction in 1218 under Rama Kotha Varma of Odanad.

Lord Shiva manifests in three forms throughout the day: Dakshinamoorthy in morning, Umamaheswaran at noon, and Kirathamoorthy in evening.

The Department of Tourism office provides information about the temple's ten-day annual festival, which occurs during the Malayalam month of Dhanu.

The temple's compound wall, built in Gajaprishta style resembling an elephant's back, reaches 10 feet and contains ancient stone inscriptions.
