Thalakkadkavu temple

Thalakkadkavu temple in Malappuram Kerala has been lying in ruins for many centuries. The temple was destroyed during the invasions of Hyder Ali, the father of Tipu Sultan.

Due to the religious persecution of Hindus in Malappuram, the local community has been unable to restore the temple. However the devotees has been lighting a lamp at the temple and praying for the restoration for many decades.

The temple was located as part of the #ReclaimTemples project to restore and revive 300 ancient temples.

The devotees of the locality has been organised into a committee and the initial steps in the restoration of temple has been completed.

The restoration plan of the temple has also been prepared by vastushastra experts. The restoration of the Garbagriha is estimated to costs ten lakh rupees and is being undertaken in the initial phase.

The locality has many devotees and the temple will play a major role in community development and strengthening initiatives in the region.
