Category:Vazhappally Temple

English: A Hindu temple located in Vazhappally near Changanassery in Kottayam district in the Indian state of Kerala. The temple is believed to be reconstructed by the first Chera king Raja Rajasekhara Varman of Kodungallur. The legends suggest that the installation of the idol of god Mahadeva (Shiva) was performed by Parasurama himself. This temple is one among the 108 Shiva temples established by Parasurama. It is one of the few temples in Kerala where two nalambalams and two flag-masts are dedicated. The temple, a Grama Kshetra, also contains some seventeenth-century wood carvings (daru silpas) depicting figurines from epics. A Vattezhuttu inscription on the northern part of the base of the cultural shrine indicates that the repairs were completed in Kollam Era 840 (1665 AD).
