History & significance

A Shiva temple about a kilometre from Neyyattinkara whose sreekovil holds an east-facing lingam together with a west-facing Parvati; Maha Shivaratri with its Pongala offering and a ten-day festival in December–January are the main observances.

Sthala katha — the legend

The temple's name comes from the belief that Rama himself installed the image here, and it is counted among the 108 Shiva temples ascribed to the sage Parasurama.
