Iringannur, Kozhikode, Kerala · 11.7153°, 75.6101°
One of the 108 famous Shiva temples of Kerala and among the oldest in Kozhikode district, with a two-tiered rectangular tiled sanctum. It is reckoned one of the three Thrikkapaleeswaram shrines of that list.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Tradition credits the sage Parashurama with installing the idol, and the village name Iringannur is explained as 'place of the two-eyed one' from the deity's distinctive two-eyed Sadashiva form.
