Om Namah Shivaya!



Parippu Sri Mahadevar Temple is situated in the heart of Parippu (used to be Bharippu) which is a small village in the district of Kottayam (Kerala, India). The main deity is Shiva, facing east. The Prathista (idol installation) here was believed to be done by Lord Parasurama and this temple is one of the 108 Shiva Temples in Kerala. 

 There were two kings in Parippu; Madathil Raja and Edathil Raja. This Shiva Kshethra was built by Madathil Raja. Having two Balikkal Puras (Thidappalli or Traditional Frontage) is one of the unique features of this Shiva Temple.
