Sreekanteswaram Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple in Thiruvananthapuram district, India.
The Sreekanteswaram Mahadeva Temple contains multiple sanctums dedicated to different deities, with the main Shiva lingam idol positioned facing east.
The temple's origins trace back to the 9th century AD, as documented by historian Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai, reflecting Kerala's architectural traditions.
The temple celebrates Thiruvathira Mahotsavam, a ten-day festival in December-January, starting with the flag-raising ceremony and ending with Adryadarshan.
The temple opens daily in two shifts, from 4:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM, located 2 kilometers from Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station.
A temple legend tells of an old sweeper discovering a bleeding pot that marked the location of a self-manifested Shiva Linga.
