Jagannath Temple

The Jagannath temple, situated about one kilometer from Thalassery city, was constructed under the leadership of the great social reformer, Sree Narayana Guru, in 1908. Sree Narayana Guru was a spiritual leader and philosopher, who worked tirelessly for the upliftment of the downtrodden classes.

Contrary to popular custom, non-Brahmins perform the pooja and rituals here. Since the 1920s, it has allowed entry to the scheduled castes, when other temples prevented them from entering even the temple compound.
