Peruvanam Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple and National Monument in Thrissur district, India.

The Peruvanam Mahadeva Temple stands on a seven-acre property with a large compound wall and holds two primary Shiva shrines within its grounds.

The temple's construction dates to the 12th century when Kerala emerged from the sea according to ancient texts and Parashurama established 64 regional divisions.

The temple celebrates Peruvanam Pooram festival with traditional Pandi and Panchari melams performances that demonstrate Kerala's musical heritage through percussion instruments.

Visitors can access the temple daily from 5:00 AM to 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM, located 10 kilometers from Thrissur railway station.

The Irattayappan shrine contains a dual Shivalinga formation, while the Madathilappan temple houses the tallest sanctum structure in South India.
