Koorkkencherry Sree Maheswara Temple, Koorkkencherry, Thrissur District
Located near Koorkkencherry, 2 km from Thrissur, the presiding deity
here is Lord Maheswara (Siva). This festival is the right venue to
watch the glittering Kavadiyattom - dancing with decorated wood models
called 'Kavadies'. Bigger the model, larger the encouragement from
the crowd. Thrissur is easy approachable by Highway and railway and
the nearest airport is Cochin International Airport, about 60 km to
the south. A similar Kavadiyattom is performed on same day in Sree
Subramanyaswamy Temple, a km away from Harippad. Considered to be
one of the oldest temple, it is dedicated to Lord Subramanya son of
Lord Siva. Spread over a hectare of land the sanctum sanctorum houses
the biggest idol in the State. The nearest airport is Cochin International
Airport, about 86 km to the north of Harippad (Alappuzha district).
