Temples Of Kerala

This is an architectural beauty believed to have been built by the legendary traditional architect Perunthachan. It is the Uliyannoor Mahadeva Temple in Aluva, Ernakulam district of Kerala. Perunthachan’s fine craftsmanship can be witnessed even today. The Vatta (circular shaped) sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum) of the temple, with its 68 wooden beams that converge under a single dome above the sanctum, is truly a wonder. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

The temple is located about 1.5 kms away from Aluva Railway Station and KSRTC bus station.
