The Shiva Temple in Ettumanur is noted for its exceptional murals and woodcarvings.
The murals date from the 16th century and are similar to those at the Mattancherry Palace in Kochi.
The inner sanctum is an unusually circular building covered with a conical copper plated roof and decorated with splendid woodcarvings portraying legends from the Ramayana.
The murals here are the most impressive I have seen in India, the details and colours are just outstanding!
It is not possible for non-Hindus to enter the inner sanctum. Photography is allowed with a special ticket only.
An annual festival is held here in February/March.
