Cherai Gowreeshwara Temple, Hindu temple in Cherai, Kerala, India
The Cherai Gowreeshwara Temple stands at 23 meters above sea level on Vypeen island with four entrance doors facing different cardinal directions.
Constructed in 1912, the temple gained prominence when Sree Narayana Guru installed the main idol, marking a significant moment in Kerala's religious development.
During the winter festival in January or February, the temple complex fills with devotees who gather to witness processions featuring decorated elephants.
The temple maintains regular hours from sunrise to sunset, requires modest dress code compliance, and restricts photography within the inner sanctum.
Four deities occupy distinct positions within the temple: Lord Subramanya faces east, Lord Ganapati south, Lord Shiva west, and Goddess Parvathy north.
