Chottanikkara Temple, Hindu temple in Ernakulam district, India
The temple features ornate wooden sculptures and houses multiple deities including Brahma, Shiva, Ganapathi, Subramanya, and Sastha within its complex.
The temple gained prominence after Adi Shankara established it following his meditation in Kashmir to serve devotees in Kerala.
The main deity transforms throughout the day, appearing as Saraswathy in morning, Lakshmi at noon, and Durga in evening.
Temple rituals begin at 4:00 AM with Nirmalya Darshan and continue through the day with specific offerings like Ellu Nivideyam and Paal Payasam.
People seek the temple for mental health healing, with evening Guruthi pooja rituals performed daily at Kizhukkavu to ward off negative energies.
