Renowned for the 'Revathi Pattathanam', an annual competition of academic skills, Thali temple is situated 1.5km east of Mananchira. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this 14th century temple built by Zamorin Swamy Thirumulpad of Kozhikode kingdom is a fine example of the total integration that can exist between wood and laterite, which is a remarkable feature of the Kerala style architecture. Mukhamandapam, i.e the square sanctorum with a high laterite wall and wide and open temple pond are the peculiarities of the temple.

The eight day long annual festival of the temple is celebrated in the month of April/ May. The gala ends with the holy bath ritual known as 'Aarattu'. Devotees throng the temple especially during festival season.
