History & tradition
Pazhoor Perumthrikkovil is a temple of Shiva in the town of Piravom in the Ernakulam district of Kerala. It is known for a remarkable feature of its setting: the Muvattupuzha river, flowing from east to west, changes direction on reaching the temple, turns back eastward for some distance, and then bends north and west again, as though to spare the shrine. The temple has doors on all four sides.
