History & significance

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.

Sthala katha — the legend

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.
