Cheranalloor Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple in Ernakulam district, India.

The temple complex exhibits traditional Kerala architecture with wooden carvings, sloping roofs, and a central shrine containing a sacred lingam representation of Shiva.

This centuries-old temple maintains strong connections to Mahabharata legends, particularly the story of Arjuna's encounter with Lord Shiva disguised as Kiratha.

The temple celebrates Thripputhu, during which the shrine closes for three days to honor the menstruation period of goddess Parvati alongside Lord Shiva.

The temple remains open daily for worship, with designated priests conducting regular Tantric ceremonies and rituals according to established schedules.

Multiple serpent deities receive devotion within the temple grounds, alongside primary deities including Ganesha, Dakshinamurti, Subrahmanya, and Shasta.
