  • Kallil Temple is a hindu temple located at Kerala, South India. It is 8 km away from Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district of Kerala. Kallil in Malayalam means 'in stone'. It is one of the most ancient hindu temple in Kerala. It is one of the protected monuments in Kerala under Kerala State Department of Archaeology.
    Location
    The temple is located at Methala near Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district. The temple is located at a distance of 10 km from Perumbavoor. It is located at a distance of 4 km from Odakali between Perumbavoor and Kothamangalam.
    Cave Temple
    This temple is also known as the Kallil Cave Temple. The Goddess is enshrined in a cave made of stone. As it is a cave temple, it is not possible to walk around behind the shrine like in normal temples. Therefore, when circling Bhagwati, the circumambulation is completed by bowing to the stone.There is ample evidence that this was a Jain temple in the early days. The idols of Parshvanath and Mahavira in Jainism have become idols of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.
    Pooja time
    The festival is celebrated on the Karthika day in the month of Scorpio. The festival lasts for eight days.
    Until a few days ago, it was customary to walk after noon pooja.
    This was due to the difficulty of returning so far for evening poojas. But now even though the walk is closed for noon pooja, the walk is reopened for evening devotional and Athazha pooja.
