About
Palayur Mahadeva Temple was a legendary temple located in Palayoor near Chavakkad in the Thrissur district in ancient Kerala. This Shiva temple was later converted into a Christian church with the arrival of St. Thomas in Malabar, Kerala. Palayoor Mahadeva (Siva) Temple does not exist today. The temple is believed to be constructed by the first Chera king of Kodungallur. This temple is one among the 108 Shiva temples established by Parasurama. The legends suggest that the installation of the idol of god Mahadeva (Shiva) was performed by Parasurama himself.
