Parippu Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple in Parippu village, Kottayam district, India

Lord Shiva faces east as the main deity in this temple, which stands 9 kilometers from Kottayam town in the Aymanam panchayat region.

The temple was constructed in 825 AD by Madathil Raja, becoming the 27th among the 108 Sivalayas attributed to Lord Parasurama in Kerala.

The temple performs three daily poojas and hosts ceremonies including Dhara, Pinvilakku, Pushpanjali, Payasam, and Koovalamala offerings to Lord Shiva.

The Travancore Devaswom Board manages the temple operations, with Bhadrakali Mattappally Nambudiri maintaining the tantric rights and ceremonial duties.

The temple contains two Balikkalpuras instead of the typical single frontage, built to accommodate two feuding rajas who wished to avoid meeting each other.
