History of this Temple

The history of Kottiyoor Shiva Temple is related to Daksha Yagya. According to Hindu mythology, Daksha Prajapati, not happy with his daughter’s marriage to Lord Shiva, decided to perform a yajna at this place without informing his daughter Sati Devi and Lord Shiva.

Sati Devi went to the Yajnabhumi, but was insulted by her father. Hurt and humiliated, he committed suicide by his Yogshakti. Distraught and enraged by this act, Lord Shiva performed Thandavanritam in the form of Virabhadra and beheaded Daksha.

After that Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and other deities came to pacify Lord Shiva. Later, Shiva replaced Daksha’s head with the head of a goat. Hence this place is said to be the divine presence of Trimurti – Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Kottiyoor Shiva Temple was renovated during the time of Shankaracharya, and the rituals of the festival were laid down by him. Ikkare Kottiyur is a formal temple complex like any other temple. On the other side, the Akkare Kottiyur temple stands in the middle of a pond and does not have any formal structure.
