Maheshwaram Sri Siva Parvathi Temple in Chenkal, Thiruvananthapuram, has earned recognition from the India Book of Records as the tallest Sivalingam in the country. The construction features six meditation halls, 108 different Sivalingams, and 64 forms of Lord Siva. The Sivalingam itself stands at an impressive height of 111 feet two inches. The temple architecture is based on Shadadharam and includes six meditation halls, with an additional two halls at the bottom and top of the Mahalingam. Devotees are welcome to meditate at each hall, focusing on the symbols of each chakra present there. The temple reflects traditional Kerala architecture, constructed entirely from Krishnastone and wood, more following vastushastra principles. Inside the Sreekovil (Sanctum), at the entrance, one can find the Rashichakra symbols, symbolizing that Sri Sivaparvathi controls the entire universe. The Chuttambalam (outer courtyard) is also built with Krishna stone and wood, featuring Gopurams (towers) in the Kerala architectural style above each entrance. The Kodimaram (flag mast) at the front of the main entrance is covered with copper plates, and atop it sits the structure of Nandi. Bells at the top of the Kodimaram produce a pleasant ringing sound. The temple showcases an exceptional display of sculptures, with 70 pillars showcasing remarkable artistic excellence. Carvings of different characters from Hindu mythology can be seen throughout the temple, crafted from stone and wood. The Sreekovil houses the Panchaloham (made of 5 metals) idol of Sri Sivaparvathi, seated together and blessing the entire universe. The Chuttambalam contains twelve Jyothirlingams surrounding Sri Sivaparvathi. One of the significant peculiarities of Maheshwaram Sri Siva Parvathi Temple is the Mahalingam itself, the world tallest Sivalingam. The Mahalingam is constructed based on Shadadharam and includes the additional meditation halls. The path to the top level of the Mahalingam is spiral-shaped, surrounded by a cave-like atmosphere with numerous carvings of meditating monks. The temple also houses temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikeya. Outside the Chuttambalam, near the southwest corner, thirty-two forms of Lord Ganesha are installed and worshipped.
