in the heart of the city, facing Rajendra Maidan is one of the ancient
temples in Central Kerala. Lord Shiva also known as 'Ernakulathappan'
is the presiding deity of this temple. It was built during the Maharaja
rule. This is one of the rarest Siva Temples where the deity is facing
the sea. The annual festival in the temple is celebrated for 8 days during
January-February every year. The festival concludes with the 'Arattu'
procession when the image of the deity is taken for a sacred bath in the
temple pool and in the night there is spectacular fireworks. A cultural
festival is also held with a variety of programmes such as music concerts,
classical dance performances including Kathakali, Kerala's very own spectacular
dance drama.
