<p> </p> <p>Parippu Mahadeva Temple</p> <p>Parippu Mahadeva Temple is a Hindu temple located in Parippu in Aymanam panchayath of Kottayam district, in the Indian state of Kerala. This temple mentioned as Nalparappil in the renowned Shivalaya stotra is closely related to Thekkumkur raja.Currently it is administered by Travancore Devaswom Board. Bhadrakali Mattappally Nambudiri holds the tantric rights of the temple.</p> <p> </p>
Puranam
<p> </p> <p>The present temple was built by the 'Madathil Raja' (Edappally raja) in 825 AD. He belonged to Madathil palace near Parippu. The local chieftain Idathil Raja was not on good terms with him and both rajas devoted to Lord Shiva does not wish to meet at the Mahadeva temple that they visited regularly. As a solution, two 'Balikkalpuras' (traditional frontage) were constructed in the temple, unlike the other temples in Kerala has only a single Balikkalpura.</p> <p>In the past, almost 141 Nair families settled in Parippu. Ancient art forms like 'Ezhamathukali' and 'Kavanayeru' attained great progress there. Parippu, which is close to the water bodies gained political prominence by the presence of raja's military unit and trade relations.</p> <p>Parippu Sree Mahadeva Temple is the 27th temple among the 108 Sivalayas created by Lord Parasurama. In the Shivalaya Nama Stotra, Parippu is referred as Parippil. The word Parippu was derived from Bharippu (to rule). This temple is situated at Parippu in Aymanam panchayat of Kottayam district (9 kilometers from Kottayam town). The main deity Lord Shiva faces east. <strong>The main specialty of this temple is that there are two Balikkalpuras.</strong> The temple was renovated by Edappally King in AD 825.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="Parippu Mahadeva Temple" src="https://www.vaikhari.org/image/Parippu%20Mahadeva%20Temple.jpg" style="height:320px; width:450px" /></p> <p> </p> <p>The Edappally King was a Brahmin and was known as Madathil Raja. The Parippu region was under Thekkumkoor kingdom and Edathil Raja or the King of Thekkumkoor was a Kshatriya. Madthil Raja and Edathil Raja were rivals but both were ardent devotees of Lord Shiva. In order to make sure that they don't see each other even during their temple visits, two Balikkal Puras were built here.</p> <p> </p>
