About Vaikom Temple

"The Vaikom Mahadeva Temple is a sanctuary for the Hindu god Shiva in Vaikom, Kerala. The temple, alongside Ettumanoor Siva Temple, Kaduthuruthy Thaliyil Mahadeva Temple is viewed as an effective trisome. The conviction is that if an enthusiast loves at these three temple previously 'Ucha pooja', every one of the desires are satisfied. 

The Vaikom Mahadeva temple is one of only a handful couple of temples which is held in respect by both Shaivaites and the Vaishnavaites. Vaikom's Shiva is affectionately called Vaikkathappan. The Shiva Linga here is accepted to be from the 'Treta yuga' and considered as one of the most seasoned temple in Kerala where pooja has not been broken since origin."

"Belief is that the Siva Linga placed by Khara Asura by his correct hand is being revered at Vaikom, the one in left hand at Ettumannoor and the one by neck at Kaduthuruthy even right up 'til the present time. 

The Linga conveyed by Khara with his neck is accepted to be at Kadathuruthy and the one by his left hand is at Ettumanoor. The way that the separation from Vaikom to Kadathuruthy and from that point to Ettumanoor is pretty much the same, offers trustworthiness to this legend. So the Darsana of all these three Lingas on a same day is considered in the same class as the Siva Darsana at Kailas – the Abode of the Lord."
