Bookable onlineHistory of Temple
Ochira Parabrahma Temple, on the Kollam–Alappuzha border, is unusual in Kerala for worshipping the formless Parabrahma rather than an installed idol. It is counted among the state's ancient sacred sites and is often called Dakshina Kasi.
The temple is best known for Ochira Kali, a festival in which mock battles are enacted on the paddy fields, recalling the region's martial traditions. The shrine's open, image-less form of worship gives it a distinct identity.
