Sree Ramaswami Temple

Sree Ramaswami Temple is a Hindu temple set on elevated ground in the Kannur district, covering a substantial land area. The property is equipped with a large temple tank called Chira, which provides additional water space and forms part of the overall complex.

The temple emerged during a period when the region was under the influence of European trading powers. In the 18th century, it served a role in relations between local rulers and foreign merchants who had established themselves in the area.

The temple is dedicated to Lord Rama, whose revered statue stands within the inner chamber. Visitors can observe the site as a spiritual gathering place where people come for prayers and where local festivals are celebrated throughout the year.

The temple is located in an area with good access options, as the nearest major railway station can be found in the city of Thalassery nearby. Air travel is also available, which makes arriving from distant locations easier.

The roof structure is covered with copper sheeting, giving the temple a distinctive appearance that is historically notable. This metallic covering combined with the gilded elements along the roof ridge makes the architecture visually distinctive.
