Subramania Swamy Temple, Haripad

Location: 1 km from Harippad town

The Subramania (son of Lord Shiva) idol here, the biggest of its kind has been designed after the sculptural pattern of the Buddhist period. It is believed that the idol, which was obtained from a river, was worshipped by Lord Parasurama. Regatta at River Payippad is conducted commemorating the idol recovery. As many as three festivals are celebrated in this temple, of which the Chithira festival in Medom (April/­May) is the most important. The procession with the golden peacock throne is fascinating.
