Ohm Namasivaya.. A perfect temple for Lord Shiva devotees.

This is yet another temple that I had only recently come across although I have travelled along the Cherthala Haripad route many times. I absolutely loved this temple! There are 2 idols of the main deity Lord Siva, which I found quite unique as I've not come across a temple where 2 garbhagrihas are seen for the same moorthy within the same temple. There is a rather large pond within the temple premises. It seems to be well maintained and I could see a few people using it. I understand this temple to be very old. It is constructed in the typical Kerala architectural style and it is well preserved.

It is easily accessible via the Cherthala Road that connects the NH-66 with Thanneermukkam and Cherthala. There are ample parking facilities for all types of vehicles on the railway station road entrance. The other entrance is via a narrow road which does not allow for parking of four wheelers.

Its too.. Peaceful to sit under baniyan trees of velorvattom temple. Ohmm namoo.. Namassivaya❣🙏

It's yet another big Shiva temple in this region. It is two temples side by side with independent entrance outside, but connected inside. Please remember you need to enter from right side entrance or Northern gate as you stand facing the temple. There is ample parking space available. Om namah shivaya.
