Kanjilassery Maha Siva Temple Timings:
The place where the idol is worshiped in the temple resembles the addition of sand. Legend has it that the Shiva Linga was made by Agnihotri by using the sand from the Bharathapuzha river. The anointing is not performed because it is a Shivling of sand. The Shivalinga sits slightly slanting, as the mother of Agnihotri held on to the force, there was a slight tilt. The temple is a part of the 108 famous Shiva temples in Kerala. According to historians, the Trithala Siva Temple, built in the 9th or 10th century, marks the transition from Chola to Pandya style architecture.
