Kottiyoor Temple — Kannur’s Sacred Forest Shrine of Lord Shiva
Officially known as Sree Thricherumanna alias Kottiyoor Devaswom, the pilgrimage centre is celebrated for a ritual tradition in which river, forest, monsoon and temporary architecture become inseparable from worship. Akkare Kottiyoor has no conventional stone sanctum, monumental gateway or permanent roof over the principal deity. Instead, devotees worship a swayambhu Shiva linga at the Manithara, a raised platform surrounded by the waters of the sacred Thiruvanchira.
