About Thiruvangad Sree Ramaswamy Temple
Thiruvangad Sree Ramaswamy Temple stands at Thiruvangad in the Thalassery area of Kannur district, Kerala, and is one of the region's best-known historic temples dedicated to Lord Rama. The shrine is widely referred to as the Brass Pagoda, a name linked to the copper sheeting that covers its roof. Kerala Tourism also notes the temple's artistic richness: intricate wooden carvings, terracotta work, mural paintings and old lithic records contribute to its architectural and heritage value.
The presiding deity is worshipped in the form of Lord Vishnu/Rama, and the temple remains an active centre of devotion rather than simply a historic structure. Its annual festival begins around Vishu in the Malayalam month of Medam and continues for several days, bringing added ritual importance to the site. For travellers following the Thalassery heritage circuit, Thiruvangad combines sacred tradition with craftsmanship and local history in a compact setting close to the historic coastal town.
