Poruvazhy Peruviruthy Malanada Temple, Hindu temple in Kollam district, Kerala, India
The Poruvazhy Peruviruthy Malanada Temple stands on a raised platform called Althara instead of containing a traditional shrine or Sreekovil structure.
The temple's origins trace back to ancient times when, according to regional records, Duryodhana visited this area and prayed to Lord Shiva for his subjects' welfare.
The Malakkuda Festival in March features traditional Kathakali performances and a grand procession called Kettukazhcha with participation from seven local districts.
The temple welcomes donations through its dedicated account at the State Bank of India Poruvazhy branch for supporting various religious and cultural activities.
This temple remains the sole shrine in South India dedicated to Duryodhana, a central figure from the Mahabharata epic who is typically portrayed as an antagonist.
