About Sree Jagannath Temple

Sree Jagannath Temple is situated at Temple Gate in Thalassery, Kannur district, Kerala. Kerala Tourism and Sivagiri sources identify the temple as having been established and consecrated by Sree Narayana Guru in 1908, giving it a prominent place in Kerala’s social-reform history. The temple’s name and concept draw inspiration from the Jagannath Temple at Puri, while the Thalassery shrine became known as a model connected with the Guru’s message against caste-based exclusion.

The main deity is Shiva, and the temple remains an active centre of worship rather than only a historical monument. Visitors interested in Sree Narayana Guru, North Malabar history and Thalassery’s cultural landscape can include the temple alongside other heritage sites in the town. Respectful dress and behaviour are expected, and festival or ritual timings should be confirmed locally.

The PIN has been corrected to 670102 based on official Kerala Tourism information for the temple.
