Ettumanoor Mahadevar Temple, Ancient Hindu temple in Kottayam district, India
The temple features walls decorated with Dravidian mural paintings and a grand fresco depicting the Dance of Shiva in the temple tower.
The current temple structure dates from 1542, following reconstructions that introduced copper-sheet roofing and ornamental architectural elements throughout the complex.
During the annual Ezhara Ponnana festival in February-March, the temple displays a collection of seven full-size and one small golden elephant statues.
The temple stands 2 kilometers from Ettumanoor Railway Station, 11 kilometers from Kottayam Station, and 77 kilometers from Cochin International Airport.
Devotees participate in the Thulabharam ritual where they offer items such as gold or fruits equal to their body weight on ceremonial scales.
