Keezhthali Sree Mahadeva Temple holds significant historical and cultural importance as a renowned Siva Temple located in Tali village, within Talappilly Taluk (Varavoor Grama Panchayat) of Thrissur district, Kerala, South India. Tali village is renowned for its panoramic beauty and rich traditions. Historically, it is believed that there were originally 108 Siva Temples in Tali Village, constructed by Maharaja Cheraman Perumal for his darshan. Unfortunately, many of these temples were destroyed over time, including the Keezhthali Sree Mahadeva Temple, leaving only a large Sivalingam atop a small hillock as a remnant. The temple has been reconstructed, and today, it boasts the largest Siva Lingam in Kerala. It
more is the sole temple conducting the "Saivagama Padi Pooja," a special ritual conducted on 36 steps inscribed with 36 Siva Sookthams and Paryayams of Parvathi Devi. Initially, the temple site measured 1.36 acres, but over time, most of this land was lost. Only about 16 cents of land, including the hillock with remnants of the old sreekovil and Sivalingam, remained. To facilitate the reconstruction of auxiliary structures like Upadevatha Temples and Chuttambalam, the Trust procured additional land, purchasing approximately 36 cents in 2007. Subsequently, facilities such as an Annadhana Hall and staff quarters were constructed behind the Sreekovil. A detailed plan for the second phase of renovation commenced in February 2012, with the foundation stone laid by Jagadguru Sree Sree Jayendra Saraswati Swamigal of Kanchi Kamakoti Peedom on 14.11.2011. The construction included Upadevatha temples, Chuttambalam, Thidappally, and steps to access the Sreekovil situated 24 feet above the ground. Completion of the Upadevatha temples and Chuttambalam allowed for the Punaprathishta of Upadevathas - Bhagavathi (Parvathi), Narasimhamoorthy, Sasthavu (Ayyappan), and Ganapathi - in May 2014.
