Parassini Madappura Sree Muthappan Temple, located on the banks of the Valapattanam River in Kannur, Kerala, is one of the most revered and unique Hindu temples in the state. Dedicated to Lord Muthappan, an incarnation of Lord Shiva, the temple is distinct due to its non-conformity to traditional Hindu temple rituals. Instead of idols, the worship here revolves around the "Theyyam" performance, a traditional form of ritual worship native to North Kerala. Open to people of all castes, creeds, and religions, the temple reflects inclusivity and harmony. Devotees flock here to seek blessings from the deity, who is believed to protect and provide for all those who offer prayers with sincerity.
