Pishakarikavu:
This
temple is dedicated to goddess Bhagavathy. The special attraction of this
temple is the elephant procession during the festival season (March/April).
Mannur Temple:
This
temple is 12 km away from Kozhikode. The exquisitely carved Gajaprathista
styled laterite structure is more than two centuries old. It is believed
that Sree Parashuraman starts his Siva Linga prathista at Tiruvannur and
completes it here every noon. The noon pujas here are therefore considered
very special.
Ponmeri:
The
Sree Krishna Temple at Karatt and the Shiva Temple at Ponmeri have flamboyant
paintings depicting Palazhimathanam (the story of the churning of the ocean
of milk) from the Puranas.
Jain Temple:
The
two temples in this compound at Trikkovil lane have exquisitely painted
interiors and elaborately carved porticoes.
