Huge Shiva temple.

Shades available so that Devotees can stay. River close by for bath.
Small shops near temple

Went there for a Marriage function. The compound is very huge and there were 3 marriages on the same day I guess, still the crowd was not felt. The only problem was to find apt parking, and reachability. The approach roads are not that big and traffic jams are a usual thing there it seems. Even Big tourist buses use the same road, where it's hard for two big cars to pass each other. So the rest can be imagined na🤭. Other than that loved the place, and again no place where mahadevan resides can give out a negative vibe right, Har Har Maha Deva...

A grand temple in the heart of Chengannur town. The main deities are Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. Those on Sabarimala pilgrimage must definitely visit this temple.

Chengannur Parvathi Mahadev temple is the most scared temple in the town.

Must visit temple

The temple is popularly counted as one of the major Bhagavathy temples in Kerala. The temple celebrates a rare menstruation festival for Bhagavathy, called Thripputhu, during when the temple is closed for three days during the irregular menstruation of the deity. There are five daily poojas done in temple, three Sarabalies for Shiva and three for Bhagavathy. Tantric worship is done by Thazhaman. The yearly festival is celebrated during the December–January which lasts 28 days.

As per Hindu legend, Bhagavathy is considered as the god of Kerala and protector of masses. It is believed that Parvathi, the consort of Shiva, came here after getting married to him in the Himalayas. Parvathi got her menstrual period for 28 days. Bhagavathy is thus considered a reincarnation of Sati, where her [Kamakya] fell in the North.Another variant of the same legend indicates that sage Agasthya, who could not witness the sacred marriage of Shiva and Parvathi was visited by the pair after the marriage. Since Parvathi was in her menstrual period, she waited for 28 days to give darshan to the sage

This temple know as second Kailasa. The temple celebrates a rare menstruation festival for Bhagavathy, called Thripputhu.

The temple is located in the heart of Chengannur town, very close from Pamba River flowing towards the east.

It's a nice holy place

For parking of 4 wheeler is little difficult to find a place, we have to park on the near by street. We can park on the street right side to the temple, street opposite to temple ( except in front of the gate of the house )

It's one of the place for sabarimala pilgrims resting place. Weekdays is little less crowded.

Temple is built in Kerala style and Linga akara darshan of Mahadev, exactly back side Bhagavathy amma temple is located.
I loved this place the kind of inner peace and positivity that we derived was great.

I strongly recommend people to visit the temple and take blessings of Mahadev and Bhagavathy.
