Shiva Temple, Vaikom
Location: 40 km from Kottayam town
This temple is very famous for its typical Kerala style of temple architecture and is believed to have been constructed by Parasurama, the mythological creator of Kerala. The 12 days 'Ashtami' festival is celebrated here in November or December and is renowned for its elephant procession, religious discourses, traditional dances and important musical performance ' Panchavadyam'. Vaikom has figured prominently in the history of Kerala as the venue of the famous Sathyagraha, staged in 1925 with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi for the admission of the Harijans in the Temple.
