കാടിനുള്ളിൽ സ്ഥിതിചെയ്യുന്ന ആ പഴയ അയ്യപ്പക്ഷേത്രത്തിലേക്ക് ഒരു യാത്ര kuthiran temple

Описание: The Kuthiranmala Sree Dharmasastha Temple has been owned by Pambumkattil, a private family trust named, for more than two centuries.
“According to legend, it is one of the 108 temples built by Parasurama, the mythological creator of Kerala,” The Kuthiran road has been infamous for accidents and roadblocks for the last several decades.


The road passes through mountainous forests and slopes, making it a dangerous drive. This made the road-side temple very popular, as devotees, drivers and passengers offer prayers and coins to the deity to help them travel without accidents or delay. Because the stretch is located on the interstate national highway, many national carriages travel through the road. This has been generating a good source of income for the temple for several decades.

The name of the place is derived from the deity worshipped in the temple. The idol of the deity worshipped here is Aswarooda Sashta, or horse-mounted Sastha (‘kuthiran’ in Malayalam, which is what gives the region its name).
connects the prayers of devotees in the present day to an age-old practice of people of Peruvanam village. “When people of Peruvanam went out of the village, they came to Kuthiran temple to pray to the deity to safeguard them in the journey. That tradition continues till date,”


The much-awaited twin-barrel tunnel through the Kuthiran mountain between Thrissur and Palakkad on NH-544 in Kerala, of which one side was recently opened up, will be a relief to commuters travelling outside as well as into the state. The tunnel will remove the risk of bends and steep slopes that made this key road an accident-spot before. However, as the tunnel is on its way to becoming fully functional, the future of the Kuthiranmala Sree Dharmasastha Temple on the existing road connecting Thrissur and Palakkad, is bleak.
