The Thali temple of Kozhikode, also called the Tali Shiva Mahakshetra, is a historic site from the Chera dynasty era. The current complex of temples, mandapam and pushkarini (temple water tank) has roots in the 10th to 12th century Hindu Zamorins period. The site was expanded in the 14th century.

The Thali temple of Kozhikode – originally Sthali temple – is among the eighteen Hindu temples along the southwestern coast of India that were not only a religious hub of the regional community, they were one of the economic, educational, performance arts and social centers. At these Thali temples, public events and sites where public projects and issues were discussed, planned and approved (see Keezhthali Shiva temple of Kodungallur as another example of a Thali temple site). The Thali temple of Kozhikode (Calicut) is renowned for its annual seven day Pattathanam where philosophical and spiritual recitations and debates have been held in the month of Thulam (October–November) since at least the 14th century. This tradition was interrupted and stopped due to Sultanate and colonial powers related war in the 18th century, but resumed in the 19th century.

The temple is dedicated to Shiva, but like major historic Hindu temples in India, the complex includes shrines and artwork of Shaiva, Vaishnava and Shakti traditions. The wooden carvings and Krishna-tradition frescoes at this temple are of particular note.
