About Koottamunda Glass Temple

Koottamunda Glass Temple is a Jain religious and heritage site on the slopes of Vellarimala in Wayanad district, Kerala. Kerala Tourism places the temple about 20 km from Kalpetta and identifies it as a shrine dedicated to Parswanatha Swami, the third Tirthankara of Jainism. Its defining visual feature is the use of numerous mirrors on the inner walls.

These reflective surfaces create repeated images of the icons of Parswanatha Swami and Padmavathi Devi, giving the interior an unusual appearance compared with other Jain monuments in the district. The hill setting and relative seclusion reinforce the calm character of the site. Koottamunda is valuable not only as an architectural curiosity but also as part of the broader story of Jain settlement and religious heritage in Wayanad.

Visitors should treat it as an active place of worship and observe respectful behaviour while exploring the temple.
