Adithyapuram Sun Temple, Hindu temple in Kottayam district, India.
The Adithyapuram Sun Temple stands in Iravimangalam village, featuring a circular sanctum sanctorum where the Sun God idol faces westward in meditation position.
Local records indicate that a Nambudiri from Kapikkadu Marangattu Mana established the temple after receiving direct instructions from the Sun deity through meditation.
The temple performs specific rituals including Adithyapooja for healing eye and skin conditions, along with daily ceremonies of Abhishekam and water anointment.
Located 200 meters from the main Vaikom highway, the temple is accessible from Kottayam railway station, 26 kilometers away, and Cochin International Airport, 47 kilometers distant.
This temple remains the sole shrine in Kerala dedicated to Lord Aditya without Navagraha installations, featuring a special stone idol that absorbs oil during ceremonies.
