Peralassery Subramania Temple

Peralassery Sri Subrahmanya Temple is a famous pilgrimage centre located about 14 km from Kannur. Lord Subrahmanya, the son of Lord Shiva, is the main deity worshiped at this temple. The idol is the serpent form of Lord Subrahmanya, and the chief offerings are eggs. Legend has it that this is a place Lord Rama and Lakshamana visited, during their quest to rescue Sita, on their way to Lanka (in the epic Ramayana). The massive temple pond and the annual Kodiyettam festival are the main attractions here. A visit here leaves one at peace and full of tranquil memories.
