The Dharmasastha Temple in Pakkil, situated in the Kottayam district of Kerala, holds a significant place in the state's ancient temple heritage. This temple is one of the eight Sastha temples originally established by Lord Parasurama. During the annual festival of the temple, known as Sankranti Vanibham or locally referred to as Pakkil Vanibham, a fair is organized by the temple authorities. This vibrant celebration takes place in the Malayalam month of Midhunam, which falls in June or July, and attracts a large crowd of devotees. The temple is conveniently located approximately 7 kilometers from Kottayam railway station, accessible via SH1 towards Changanassery. If you're traveling more from afar, the Cochin International Airport is approximately 93 kilometers away from the Pakkil Temple.
