Palakkad Kalpathi Vishwanatha Swamy Temple in Kerala State is located in underground. In Malayalam, this is called Koil in the shell. 'Kundu' means crater.

In the 15th century, an old lady named Lakshmiammal lived in Kalpathi Puzhaikarai. Her family belongs to Mayiladuthurai. Like the Mayuranatha Swamy temple at Mayiladuthurai, she also wanted to build a temple in Kalpathi. For that she went to Kasiyathira and brought Panalingam. For building the temple, she gave her property to the government.

King Ittikombi, who ruled the Palakkad region, agreed to the old lady's request and allowed the temple to be built. Swami got the name 'Kashi Vishwanath' as ​​He was brought from Kashi. Later the statue of Goddess Visalakshi was also consecrated. Visalakshi is south facing and has the power to remove fear of death.

It is a black stone temple built low from the ground floor. There are 18 steps leading down to the south and east directions. There are steps leading to the river from inside the temple.

Like Mayiladuthurai, the Aipasi Ther festival is also held here. Kalpathi Lakshmi Narayana, Chathapuram Prasanna Ganapathi also appear in separate chariots along with Vishwanath Chariot in the festival.

Here in Kerala Shiva Temples, only here Nataraja has Kanakasabha. Navagrahas appear as couples. New cloths are offered to Swami to remove the obstacles of marriage and to get a child. Rudrapishekam and Mrityunjaya Japa are performed for longevity. It is special to do tarpanam and chirartham on the banks of river Kalpathi in memory of ancestors. This is why there is a saying 'Half Kashi is Kalpathi'. This place is also known as 'Kerala Mayiladuthurai'.
