Avanangattilkalari Vishnumaya Temple, Hindu temple in Peringottukara, Kerala, India
The temple stands on ten acres surrounded by paddy fields, featuring a central shrine facing east and containing multiple sacred structures including a pond.
The temple origins trace back over 500 years when Avanangattil Panicker established a Kalari training ground for martial arts in a cleared forest area.
The temple remains the principal center for Vishnumaya worship in Kerala, with priests from Panicker and Thiyyar families conducting traditional ceremonies and rituals.
Visitors must follow strict dress codes where men wear dhotis without shirts, and women dress in sarees or pavadas, with modern attire not permitted.
The temple features an oracle person called Vellichapad who enters a trance state known as niyogam to communicate divine messages to devotees.
