തളി ശിവക്ഷേത്രം
Kozhikode, Kerala · 11.2477°, 75.7873°
One of the oldest temples of Kozhikode, built in the fourteenth century by the Zamorin and closely bound to his court; its two-storeyed sanctum is shaped like a chariot. Damaged during Tipu Sultan's eighteenth-century invasion, it was renovated in 1964.
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.
The linga in the sanctum is said to have been installed by Parasurama at the close of the Dvapara Yuga.
