Temples Of Kerala

One of the most famous Lord Subramanya temples in Kerala, Sree Subramanya Swami Temple at Payyanur in Kannur district of Kerala has specific architectural significance. The two-storeyed sanctum sanctorum here is in the shape of Gajaprishtam [back of an elephant]. This temple also has a 6-ft tall idol of the main deity, Lord Subramanya. Another interesting feature is its 12ft tall compound wall that is constructed in a unique style.

The temple is famous for its pavitra mothiram, a uniquely crafted ring. Made only against the order, with gold and the holy darbha grass, it is worn after being sanctified at the temple.
