Chakkamkulangara Siva Temple, Hindu temple in Thrippunithura, India

The temple building includes a large inner sanctum dedicated to Lord Shiva, with the Goddess Parvati Devi idol placed behind the main shrine.

The temple, constructed over one thousand years ago in Kerala-Dravidian architectural style, served as a religious center during the Cochin Kingdom period.

The eight-day Shivaratri festival includes traditional performances such as ottanthullal and chakyarkoothu, with three elephants leading the grand procession.

The temple stands 1 kilometer from Tripunithura Railway Station and 22 kilometers from Cochin International Airport, making it accessible to visitors.

Lord Siva faces west while Goddess Parvathi faces east in this temple, where the deity manifests as Swayamvara Murthy in the form of Mrityunjaya.
