Pundareekapuram Temple, Hindu temple in Kottayam district, India
The Pundareekapuram Temple sits atop Midayikunnam hill, featuring a square sanctum sanctorum enclosed by a tiled and saddle-roofed Chuttambalam structure.
The temple's construction predates the 13th century, following the discovery of a sacred murti during a bathing excursion in the Muvattupuzha river.
The temple walls display intricate murals depicting scenes from Hindu epics, including the Ramayana, Bhagavatham, and Shiva Purana, painted by skilled artists.
Visitors need to climb 50 steps to reach the temple, which stands 4 kilometers north of Thalayolaparambu and 14 kilometers northeast of Vaikom Mahadeva temple.
The main deity presents Lord Vishnu in an uncommon arrangement, seated on Garuda with Sathyabama on his lap, portrayed in ugra bhavam form.
