Thirumangalam Temple

The Thirumangala Temple, nestled in the locale of Thirumangalam Desam, Engandiyur, within the Thrissur District, stands majestically facing the Gurvayur Ernakulam National Highway. This sacred sanctuary houses two divine effigies, Lord Shiva and Lord Maha Vishnu, both of which hold equal significance. However, Lord Shiva is considered the primary deity, leading to the temple’s inclusion in the revered list of 108 Shiva temples.

The temple, oriented towards the east, boasts an exquisite Sreekovil. The stewardship of the temple is under the auspices of Kattumadom Mana. It has become a beacon of hope for many devotees seeking solace from their mental afflictions, as they believe in the benevolent blessings of Thirumangalathan. The temple rituals are conducted under the guidance of Pazhangaparambu Mana.

The temple comes alive during the grand celebrations of Ashtamirohini and Shivaratri, which are the main festivals of the Thirumangala Temple. Devotees have a firm belief in offering ‘Thirumaduram’ to the deity, hoping to be blessed with a sweet and fulfilling life.
