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.
The linga in the sanctum is said to have been installed by Parasurama at the close of the Dvapara Yuga.
