Rameswaram Mahadeva Temple

Rameswaram Mahadeva Temple is an old Shiva temple in Kollam, traditionally included among Keralam’s 108 Shiva temples. The shrine is significant not only for worship but also for its historical features, including inscriptions and traditional architectural details that point to its long presence in the city’s religious landscape. The temple’s location in the Rameswaram–Thirumullavaram side of Kollam places it within reach of coastal attractions while providing a very different, contemplative experience.

Annual observances and Shiva-related festivals bring increased activity, but on ordinary days visitors can appreciate the temple’s traditional Keralam character at a calmer pace. As an active Hindu shrine, access to some areas may follow customary restrictions. Travellers should dress respectfully, remove footwear where required and avoid interrupting rituals or photographing worship areas without permission.
