Airanikulam Mahadeva Temple, one of the 108 Shiva temples established by Parasurama, is located in Airanikulam village in Thrissur district, about six kilometers from Mala on the way to Kundur. There are two main idols in the temple. Both are Lord Shiva. There is a difference that one is a linga form and the other is an idol form. The special feature of this temple is that it is rarely dedicated to Shiva in the form of an idol. This great temple is under the Cochin Devaswom Board

An ideal atmosphere for meditation and meditating quietly to absorb the vibrations. You can feel the power of centuries of worship and devotion. The vibrations of the temple are filled with devotional energy, We were lucky to go the day after a big festival so there were very few visitors. During quieter periods the temple provides opportunity for peaceful reflection.

Very old Shiva temple. Very traditional and nice temple.

Peace ful place
