Thumpamon Vadakkumnathan Temple is situated at Thumpamon, a village near Pandalam in Adoor thaluk on the banks of the Achankovil river. There are two Sreekovils (Sanctum sanctorum) in the temple. There is a legend about the sanctum on the northern side. It is said that two brahmins from Thrissur had come there and taken a bath in the river. As they tried to take them bundles after the bath, they found it stuck there. Realising the divine presence there they stayed there and performed pujas. The northern temple is believed to have been built by them. The southern part is
more believed to have been made at the end of the rule by Shakthibhadra, the King to consecrate his family deity Subrahmanya there. But worship is done at both the sancta as divine power of Siva has been observed at each of them. The temple is managed by Thumpamon Sree Vadakkumnathan Seva Sanghom. The Kettukazcha brought by the people from the surrounding localities for the Uthradolsava is an important function.
