Dakshina Mookambika Temple, North Paravur, Hindu temple in North Paravur, India.

The Dakshina Mookambika Temple is a Hindu temple in North Paravur whose small, single-storey sanctum stands in the middle of a lotus pool. The sanctum has a copper roof topped with a golden finial, and the goddess Mookambika is worshipped here in the form of Saraswati, facing east. A shrine to Yakshi stands at the southwest corner of the compound.

A Thampuran (ruler) of Paravur, too old to keep making his annual pilgrimage to the Kollur Mookambika temple in Karnataka, was told by the goddess in a dream to install her near his palace. He built the shrine outside the Paravur fort and opened it to the public. Because it lies south of Kollur, it is called Dakshina (southern) Mookambika. The temple is now under the Travancore Devaswom Board.

The temple plays an important role in the community's spiritual life, particularly during Navaratri when traditional music performances and Vidyarambham ceremonies take place here. These occasions mark the beginning of children's formal education within a sacred setting.

The temple is about half a kilometre from NH 66 on the Ernakulam–Guruvayur route, with its main entrance on the east side facing a temple pond of more than four acres. Bathing with oil or soap, fishing, brushing teeth and throwing waste are prohibited in the pond. The sanctum stands on a lotus pool, and circumambulation goes over a narrow walkway around it.

The temple houses a dedicated shrine to Yakshi, a feminine divine being in Hindu tradition, tucked away in the southwestern corner of the complex. This separate sacred space reveals the layered nature of worship practices at the site.
