Kanjiramattam Sree Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple along Thodupuzha River, Kerala, India

The temple structure features a traditional Kerala architectural design with Lord Shiva as the main deity facing west in the form of a Shiva Lingam.

The Vadakkumkoor dynasty constructed this temple near their palace at Karikode, establishing a Sivalinga Prathista dedicated to Umamaheswara by the riverside.

Maha Shivratri celebrations at the temple involve devotees performing penances through Bael leaf offerings, fasting, and maintaining night-long spiritual practices.

Located 1.6 kilometers from Thodupuzha bus stand, the temple requires traditional dress code: dhoti for men and sarees or pavadas for women.

The temple houses a century-old Nandi idol, marking it as one of only two Devi temples in Kerala featuring such a representation.
