🛕 Pralayakkad Mahadeva Temple
Pralayakkad Shiva Temple is believed to be the only temple where two sanctum sanctorums dedicated to the same deity can be seen within a single compound wall. The temple is situated at the highest point of Pralayakkad. In ancient times, this place was known as "Kazh uvetumpara". According to local legends, it was once a burial ground where criminals were executed by hanging during the reign of kings. According to Hindu beliefs, just as Lord Parameswara resides in the cremation ground at Mount Kailash, the temple premises are regarded as a sacred divine abode, comparable to Mount Kailash. The ceremonial holy bath (Aarattu) of the temple is conducted on the new moon day of the Malayalam month of Meenam.
