Chowalloor Shiva temple is a very prominent pilgrim centre of south India. This temple symbolizes unique relation between god and his devotees. Lord Shiva, the deity of Thrissur Sree Vadakunnatha temple is said to have manifested himself on an umbrella carried by one of his beloved devotees, a pious Namboothiri from Chowalloor , who used to walk all the way to Thrissur to bow his head before lord. When his devotee became too old to walk, the lord is said to have accompanied him to his native home in Chowalloor. Later, a temple was constructed at the very same place where lord appeared.

Located at a distance of 3 Km from Guruvayur Temple, the Chowalloor temple is among the 108 ‘Shivalayas’ of Shiva in Kerala that were consecrated by Parasurama. Lord Shiva with a special Shivalinga is the presiding deity of the temple. In the two tire round SreeKovil, the idol of lord Shiva is seen facing west and that of his consort SreeParvathy facing east. The sapthamathrukkal, precious black stone idols symbolizing seven mothers are also worshipped in the temple.
