Nalpathaneeswaram Sree Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple in Alappuzha district, India
The Nalpathaneeswaram Sree Mahadeva Temple stands in Panavally village of Cherthala taluk, featuring traditional Kerala architectural elements and sacred shrines.
Three ancient Kaimal families - Kozhisseril, Payippattu, and Mullakkeril - have managed this thousand-year-old temple through generations of religious service.
The temple conducts a seven-day festival in February-March, known as uthrittathi-kodiyettu thiruvathira-aarattu, with ceremonies including Utsavabali and Koodi ezhunnallathu.
Visitors can reach the temple via the Cherthala Arookutty bus route, located 20 kilometers from Cherthala and 11 kilometers from Aroor.
According to local records, the temple grounds connect to four large stones one kilometer east, which inhabitants believe the Pandavas used during their exile.
