The Mahadeva Temple by the western bank of the holy river Pamba at Chengannur in Alappuzha district is famous all over the world owing to the unique ritual here of celebrating the menstruation festival of the associate deity- goddess Parvati (Bhagavathi). In a place where menstruating women are banished from temples for seven days, such a ritual has an added significance. Thousands throng the temple during this festival known as 'Thripputhu Aaraatt' and seek the blessings from the goddess. It is believed that if you pray in earnest during this festival, all your desires will be fulfilled. During the festivities, 'Haridra Pushpanjali', a kind of floral offering over 12 days, believed to be the favourite of the Goddess is made by the devotees to propitiate her.nnIn this temple, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati take the form of the half male-half female ‘Ardhanaareeswara’. There are various legends associated with the construction and commissioning of this temple. Some legends say that the temple is one of the 108 shrines commissioned by Parasurama. Some other legend has it that the temple was conceived and constructed by ‘Perumthachan’ at the command of his overlords.nn(Short description ud83dude02)

The temple architecture itself is too unique, as just like another kerala temple. Please don't miss to visit the the four gopuras or the entrances to the temple on the four sides. Its too huge elephant door's made out of wood, and the roofing supported by dark heavy stones.One of famous siva temple in central travancore.it have the access of all type of vehicles infront of the temple. Chengannur Mahadeva Temple (also called Bhagavathy Temple) is a prominent Hindu temple, dedicated to Shiva and located in the town of Chengannur in the South Indian state of Kerala.
