About Parassala Mahadeva Temple

Parassala Mahadeva Temple is a Shiva temple in Parassala, one of the principal towns near Keralam’s southern border with Tamil Nadu. The temple’s location gives it a cross-border devotional importance, serving communities and pilgrims travelling through the Neyyattinkara–Parassala corridor. Visitors encounter a traditional Keralam temple environment centred on Shiva worship, local festivals and daily ritual practice rather than a monument separated from community life.

Parassala is well connected by road and rail, so the temple can be included in a wider itinerary covering southern Thiruvananthapuram pilgrimage centres, coastal areas and border landscapes. Keralam Registration Department records confirm Parassala P.O. with PIN 695502. As with other active temples in Keralam, access, dress and photography rules can vary by area of the shrine, and visitors should follow instructions displayed at the temple or given by temple authorities.
