Katappattoor Mahadeva Temple (also Kadappatoor Temple or കടപ്പാട്ടൂര്‍ in Malayalam)
The unique stone idol of Lord Shiva in the temple is unlike the idols in other Shiva temples. The idol was discovered by a woodcutter named Madathil Paachu Nair inside a large tree on the banks of Meenachil river on 14 July 1960 while he was cutting firewood.
In 2006 the temple was renovated and completely remodeled in South Indian temple architecture style.

Thousands of pilgrims visit the Kadappattoor temple every year, on their way to Sabarimala.
