Sree Maha Ganapathy Temple , Kollam
ABOUT
Kottarakara Ganapathy Temple is one of the famous temples in south india with great historical importance. There are many legends about Kottarakara Ganapathy. Actually the main ‘Prathistha'(Idol) is Lord Siva, but Ganapathy is famous here. The exact name of the temple was Kizhakkekara Siva Kshethram. The main deity is none other than Lord Siva himself – Siva facing eastward. In fact Ganapathy is only a minor deity here. But the temple today is famous as a Ganapathy temple rather than a Siva temple. The major festivals in this temple are celebrated on Vinayaka Chathurthy (birthday of Lord Vinayaka), Ayilyam-Makam (Pooja for Naga daivangal), Navarathri, Mandalachirappu, Prathishtadinam, Thyppoyam, Sivarathri, Medathiruvathira and so on. Unniyappam is the main offering to Lord Ganapathy hence Udayasthamaya pooja is the major vashipadu at this temple. This temple is situated in Kottarakkara Taluk of Kollam district.
