Vazhappally Sree Mahadeva Temple : Lord Parasurama himself carried out the task of mounting Lord Mahadevaâ€™s idol. One of the 108 Siva temples built by Lord Parasurama is this wonderful temple. Parasurama was Lord Maha Vishnu's incarnation during the Thretha Yuga. It is unknown when exactly this temple was built. A few lithic records from Rajasekhara Varma Kulasekhara's (820â€“844 AD) reign may be found at the Vazhappally Temple, along with some exquisite Daarusilpas (wood carvings) from the seventeenth century that show figures from epics. The Kollam era 840 (AD 1665) Vattezhuttu inscriptions on the northern portion of the base of the cultural shrine suggest that the repairs were finished during this time. It's a historic Grama Kshethra called "Dakshina Kailasam".
