During my holidays over the past couple of years, I visited several temples in Palakkad. Many of them are quite old and have a lot of history behind them.
What I liked most was seeing the traditional Kerala-style architecture – sloping roofs, wooden carvings, and spacious courtyards. Some temples were small and quiet, while others were larger and busier, especially during festival times.
Each visit was a nice break in the day. The peaceful surroundings, temple ponds, river flowing by and shaded walkways made the experience very calming.
We stopped for tea outside one of the temples. It was a small shop, simple but welcoming. As we sat there, we noticed a bird sitting right next to the shop owner. He smiled and told us that this bird comes every day for its morning snack.
