Purandareswarath Sree Mahadeva Temple, located about a kilometer east 52 of Thuravoor junction is the only Siva temple in the Thuravoor village. The God Sree Mahadeva here is believed to be as 'Sarabha Murthy'. It was the incarnation of Lord Sarabha that mellowed Lord Vishnu's fierce form of Narasimha. Hence there is a primordial relation between Purandareswarath temple and the Narasimhamoorthy temple at Thuravoor. Sree Purandare- swara is the only Siva deity in the 'Kootti Ezhunnallathu' at Thuravoor temple on the Deepavali day. Legend says that a holy Brahmin bound for Vaikkom, could only reach Purandareswarath temple on the Vaikkath- ashtami day. Heartbroken at being unable more to have Ashtami Darshan, he prayed to Lord Siva and the lord appeared himself before him. Vilwamangalath Swamiyar later identified the presence of lord Siva here and enshrined the Lord here. The Lord was worshipped by the Brahmins living in the area and the ownership of the temple was bestowed on 'Puthanchira Mekkali Mana of Thrissur'. In April 1977, the temple administration was handed over to the Valamangalam North NSS Karayogam No.759. The Upadevathas of the temple include Nandikeswran in front of the Sanctum Sanctorum, Ganapathy on the right side of the Sree Kovil, Kannadi Prathishtas of Lord Sastha, Durga Devi, Vellam Bhagavathy, and Anthimahakaalan in a special shrine outside the Valiyambalam, Nagaraja-Nagayakshi-Sarpa prathishtas outside the temple compound Yakshiamma on the centre back position of Mahadeva and Brahmarakshassu. The main festival of the temple is the Mahasivarathri in the month of Kumbham of the Malayalam era. The Kodiyettam is conducted 8 days before this. Under the leadership of Tharananalloor and Tanniyil Mathiyathu Mana Namboodiris all specified rituals are conducted for the rejuvenation of Lord Mahadeva. AfterKodiyettu, Kodiyettu Sadya is conducted every year. Sreebhoothabali is conducted every day during the festival. The temple can be reached by turning to the east at Thuravoor Junction (to the right on ALP-EKM route and to the left on EKM-ALP route) It is 1.3 KM away on the proposed Thuravoor - Pampa Road. The nearest railway station is Thravoor on the EKM-ALP route.
