തിരുവുത്സവം 2026 | കടപ്പാട്ടൂർ മഹാദേവ ക്ഷേത്രം കോട്ടയം | Thirvutsavam 2026 | Kadappattoor Mahadeva Temple Kottayam
Kadappattoor is a small beautiful village on the banks of Meenachil river near Pala in Kottayam District of Kerala. The village life is centered around a Shiva temple:
Kadappattoor Mahadeva Temple. The stone
idol of Lord Shiva in Kadappattoor Mahadeva Temple is noteworthy and is unique unlike the idols in other
Shiva temples. The idol was discovered by a woodcutter named Madathil Paachu Nair from inside a large
tree on the banks of Meenachil river on 14th July 1960 while he was cutting fire wood. The day was quite
unusually stormy with deafening thunder bolts. The wood cutter got quite frightened and jumped into the
river as the tree fell to one side and the stone idol of Lord Shiva appeared from that. The news of
appearance of a beautiful Shiva idol from the tree spread like wild fire through central Travancore and
people flocked to see the idol. Gradually a temple came up with the efforts of Bhaktas. Initially the temple
had a unique architecture resembling North Indian temples.
The Annual Festival (Thiruvutsavam) is conducted in order to celebrate the divine presence of the deity,
Lord Sree Mahadeva in Kadappattoor.
