Ramapuram Sri Shiva-Vishnu Temple is located in the tranquil surroundings of Ramapuram, behind Nirmalagiri College, about 4 km from Kuthuparamba town in Kannur District, Kerala. Historically controlled by 14 Illams, the temple came under the sole management of the Kavumkara Illam following the invasion of Tipu Sultan, the aggressive ruler of Mysore, which displaced prominent local families. Financial decline and mismanagement eventually led to the temple's ruin and closure. The local community, believing their prosperity and peace were tied to the temple's divine presence, sought permission from Sri. Kuberan Namboothiripad of the Kavumkara family to reopen the temple. They formed the "Ramapuram Sri Siva Vishnu Kshethra Seva Samithi," more a registered committee under the Societies Act. In March 2006, an astrological enquiry called "Swarna Prasnam" was conducted at the temple. The Swarna Prasnam revealed that Lord Sri Rama had visited the temple during the Treta Yuga, giving the place its name, Ramapuram. Nearby, a pond named Sugreevan Chira believed to have been created by Sugreeva to quench Rama's thirst, still exists about 200 meters from the temple. The temple is unique in Kerala for giving equal importance to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, two of the Hindu Trinity. Lord Vishnu is depicted blessing Prahlada after the assassination of King Hiranyakashipu, while the Shivalinga represents "Ardhanareeswara" and was installed by the Kavumkara Namboothiries. After the defeat of Pazhassi Raja, the British demolished his palace and a Shiva temple attached to it. The Shiva idol from the destroyed temple was handed over to the Kavumkara Namboothiries and installed in the Ramapuram temple. The temple's unique spiritual significance attracts devotees from distant regions seeking spiritual solace, strength, and fulfilment of their wishes. It is believed that the divine presence in the temple removes obstacles and misfortunes in family life, bringing peace and affection to those who worship there.
