Kondazhy Tritham Tali Siva Temple

Kondazhy Tritham Tali Siva Temple is a Hindu temple located on the banks of the Gayathripuzha river in Thrissur district. The sanctuary houses eleven subsidiary deities alongside the main figures of Shiva and Parvathi.

The temple suffered major destruction during Tipu Sultan's invasion, leaving its main sculpture damaged for roughly two centuries. The eventual restoration reflects how the community rebuilt and maintained this sacred space.

The temple serves as a living place of worship where devotees offer prayers and participate in daily rituals throughout the year. Visitors can observe how the space brings together people who share a common faith and practice.

The riverside setting along the Gayathripuzha creates a calm environment for visiting the temple grounds. Modest clothing is appropriate to show respect when entering this religious space.

Local tradition credits sage Parashurama with placing the Shiva idol on the south bank of the Nila river at this location. It ranks among 108 major Shiva temples across the region, a number carrying special spiritual meaning.
