In the province of Kerala, the Sri Mathilakam Temple in Thalakulathur, also known as Thalakulathur Devaswom, holds significant historical importance among the many ancient and grand temples. The temple is believed to be around 1500 years old and owes its vitality to the sage Agastya. Historical records indicate that in AD 883, during the reign of the Chera King, a hero stone or stone inscription was established at Thalakulathur (mentioned in N.M Namboothiri's Malabar Padanangal Namboothiri nadu). Remarkably, this hero stone inscription is still present within the temple. Although the inscription on the hero stone is not entirely clear, it does confirm that the temple was more at its peak over 1100 years ago. It stood witness to discussions on governance between King Samoothiri and the King of Kottayam. In 1963, a committee was formed to modernize the old temple structure, but unfortunately, a fire in 1969 led to its complete devastation. For the next 12 years, the temple remained in ruins until November 3, 1981, when devotees joined together to establish the temple management committee, with King Samoothiri as a trustee. A significant moment in the temple's history occurred on June 23, 2004, during the auspicious Chingam Rashi, when five deities Narasimhamurthi, Sivan, Ganapathy, Shastavu, and Bagavathi were simultaneously established. The main priest of the temple is Brahma Sri Tekkiniyedathu Tarananellur Padmanabhanunni Namuthirippad. Currently, the temple is managed by a committee consisting of 15 members. The temple is situated in Thalakulathur village atop a serene hill in the Kozhikode district. It is known as Thalakulathur Devaswom and houses the tranquil form of Maha Vishnu, bestowing blessings upon devotees. The presiding deity is Lakshmi Narayana Narasimhamurthi, depicted in a multi-armed form carrying a conch, Chakra, and mace. Similarly, Lord Shiva holds a significant status in this temple, showering generous blessings upon devotees. With his divine presence, Lord Mahadeva and his family bring prosperity, victory, and various other positive aspects to those who seek his prayers. The temple also includes subordinate deities such as Ganapathy, Shasthav, and Bagavathy. Located nearby, to the right side of the Vishnu temple, is the deity of Ganapathy in his divine form. Before the establishment of other temples, there existed an ancient Bhagavathy temple. Bagavathy is represented in a mirror form. The temple showcases a Dragon style of architecture. Situated to the south of the Vishnu temple is the Shiva temple, and at the main corner of the temple premises resides Shasthavu.
