Nadapuram Iringannur Siva Temple, Hindu temple in Kozhikode district, India.
Nadapuram Iringannur Siva Temple is a Hindu temple in Kozhikode district featuring a rectangular central sanctuary with a decorative tile roof and an entrance facing east. Beside the main structure sits a pond, and both have undergone recent upgrades to maintain their condition and improve visitor access.
The temple is traditionally linked to the legendary sage Parasurama, who according to local records established the main deity here. The sanctuary is part of a network of around 108 significant Shiva temples spread across Kerala.
The temple serves as a place of daily worship where devotees gather to pray before the Shiva lingam housed in the tiled sanctuary. The local community uses the space for religious gatherings and continues traditions passed down through generations.
The temple is easy to navigate with clear pathways and straightforward access to the sanctuary and the adjacent pond. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and allow time to explore the renovated areas of the complex.
The place name derives from local language elements: 'Iru' means two, 'Kannu' means eyes, and 'Oor' means place, reflecting how geography and language intertwine in Kerala. This poetic naming tradition reveals how communities embedded meaning into their surroundings centuries ago.
