[edit] Annamalai Temple
1800-year old temple has Chola style architecture. The deity is Shiva. The ancient structure is intact despite modifications and renovations carried out later. A window with nine lattices representing Navagrahas (nine planets), and another widow with five lattices representing Pancha Bhoothas (five devil elements) deserve pointed attention. The idols and lamps are carved from stone and metal, dating back to 14th century. A stepwell always holding water (even in drought condition) is considered sacred. The temple once managed by a private trust is now under the control of Archaeological Survey of India for its historic importance. Important relics of the temple are kept in the museums of Thrissur and Kozhikode.
Sri Krishnaswamy Temple: The temple is situated on the river bank in Thodupuzha. During the travelling in the region by an ascetic he had a vision of Lord Krishna. Hearing of the event, the king of Keezhmalainad constructed a temple at the spot where the ascetic had the vision.
The annual festival called Chothiyoothu Utsavam held in Meenam (March/April) is very popular.
