Sree Subrahmanya Swami Temple, Payyanur - History details

Payyanur Sree Subrahmanya Swami Temple in Kannur is famed for its two‑storeyed gajaprishta (elephant‑back) sanctum and a 6‑ft murti of Subrahmanya. Tradition attributes the original pratishta to Parashurama; the shrine suffered damage during Tipu Sultan’s campaign (1789) and was rebuilt, with the present consecration in 1838. The temple is known for the ritual Pavitra Mothiram ring and a 14‑day Vrischika festival.
