The temple’s architecture reflects Kerala’s classical style, with a nalambalam, sreekovil, namaskara mandapam, flagpoles, and ceremonial elephant sheds, providing a sacred space for worship and community gatherings.
The main deity, Lord Mahadeva, is worshipped in a self-manifested form, facing east, symbolizing divine energy, protection, and spiritual upliftment. Alongside Mahadeva, the temple houses shrines for sub-deities including Lord Ganapathi, Goddess Parvati, and other traditional deities such as Dharmashastha, Nagaraja, and Yakshiyamma. Devotees believe that the deities are compassionate, responding to prayers and offering protection, prosperity, and guidance. The presence of Goddess Parvati alongside Lord Mahadeva adds an aura of grace, balance, and auspicious energy.
The temple observes several important festivals and rituals throughout the year. The annual festival begins with the kodiyettu (flag hoisting) and is celebrated over multiple days with special poojas, processions, and ceremonial offerings. Shivaratri, Ashtami Rohini, Mandala Chirappu, and Navaratri are observed with special devotion. On Vijayadashami, children are initiated into learning, following traditional customs. Monthly observances such as Pournami and Pradosham are also conducted with devotion.
Located in the sacred landscape of Palamel, the temple draws devotees seeking spiritual solace, guidance, and blessings for wealth, health, and well-being. Thirumanimangalam Sree Mahadevar Kshethram stands as a harmonious blend of Shaiva devotion, traditional rituals, and community participation, making it one of the most cherished temples in Alappuzha district.
