The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Shiva, located in main Sanctum Sanctorum, facing east. According to folklore, sage Parashurama has installed the idol. A trade fair and an amusement park too have been arranged in the area. A temporary footbridge having a length of 80 m and width of 12 m has been built across the Periyar from the Kalady side to enable devotees to walk to the Manappuram. Rajeev said the bridge has been constructed using tree stumps, areca nut trunks, iron pipes and aluminium sheets.

Beautiful temple in Aluva. Good evening vibe. 🙏

Very good ambiance to spend time with family and friends. Located on periyar river banks. Hundreds of devotees visiting this temple. But need to clean surrounding areas of temple and river side frequently. Devaswam board and Aluva municipality to take initiative.

Very nice and calm area.. it's a famous for dithi giving to died family members..funeral rituals.

Serene place. Dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple doesn't have any walls due to flooding during monsoon. Some times wooden partitions are used. Bali tharpanam near the temple is available on all days.

Land mark of Aluva. A humble yet legendary temple on the banks of mighty Periyar River. March - April the ground (Manappuram) hosts huge Mela. Every year the whole region will get flooded fully during the Southwest monsoon.

Amazing and must visit place in Ernakulam. Had been to temple in the morning. athe view and the ambiance was amazing. It gives a fresh feel. Travelling by own vehicle will be very convenient. Road was little confusing despite of using map, but people were helpful. The bridge and the view of temple is very good. Temple is usually crowded.

Lord Siva temple on the river side of Periyar Famous for sivarathri and pithru pooja.

It is a hindu religious place and lord siva the reigning deity known as aluva manapurathappan, situated in the banks of river Periyaar which gets flooded during rainy season with the swayambhu siva lingam getting submerged which brings nature given aaraattu to the deity. Also famous aluva sivarathri where thousands come to perform prayers and Bali Tharpanam for their ancestors. Also many immerse the earthly remains of the ashes in the river which is supposed to bring moksham

After rains, it is muddy in the surrounding areas. River basin is not usable currently. However path upto the temple is cleaned to a good extent.

Nice to spend sometime near Periyar River.. calm and quiet place..

Calm and quiet place to spend time (except on shivaratri 😌)...at evening(6pm to 9:30pm) it's really nice to spend your time with friend groups.

Quite place to spend evening... Lakeside is beautiful with bridges on 2 sides.

It is one of the most famous Shiva temple in Kerala. It has a peaceful environment and is situated near the bus route. You have to go through the bridge to get here. It is a really good place for visit.
