Chemmanthatta Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple in Chemmanthatta, Kerala, India

The circular temple features intricate murals on its exterior walls depicting Hindu mythology stories, including Sreerama Pattabhishekam and Nataraja Siva from the 17th century.

The Royal family of Talapilli constructed this temple during the Kingdom of Cochin era, and in 1982 the Indian government designated it as a protected historical monument.

The temple stands among Kerala's 108 Shiva temples, with a six-foot-tall idol of Lord Shiva in Rowdra-Bhava form facing east in the sanctum.

The Archaeological Survey of India and Kerala Urayma Devaswom board manage the temple, which includes a pond for pilgrims at the eastern entrance.

The temple's narrow corridor leads to an eastern entrance decorated with ancient Sala-Kooda motifs carved entirely from laterite stone.
