Pundareekapuram Temple

Pundareekapuram Temple is a small Hindu temple atop a little rise called Midayikunnam[1] near Thalayolaparambu in Kottayam.[2] A tiled and saddle roofed square "Chuttambalam" encloses a square sanctum sanctorum. Appended to the square enclosure is a small ‘balikkalpura’. The (main deity) idol is the image of Vishnu[3] sitting astride his celestial vehicle Garuda together with Bhoodevi.

There is a picture of Siva and Parvathi sitting beneath the Kalpavriksha; a picture of Durga vanquishing the buffalo-headed demon Mahisha, the pranks of Krishna the divine boy of Ambadi; a picture of a Yakshi the dangerous seductress of legends; Rama Pattabhishekham or the coronation of Sri Rama; Siva Thandava and a picture of Sastha astride a horse to point out a few of the striking paintings at Pundareekapuram.
