Chengannur Mahadeva Temple (also called Bhagavathy Temple) is a prominent Hindu temple, dedicated to Shiva and located in the town of Chengannur in the South Indian state of Kerala. The temple is one of the major Shiva temples in Kerala, along with the Ettumanoor Mahadevar Temple, Kaduthruthy Mahadeva Temple, Vaikom Temple, Ernakulam Shiva Temple and Vadakkunnathan Temple.[1] There are shrines for Ganesha, Dakshinamurti, Subrahmanya, Shasta, Krishna, Nilagriva, Sthalisha, Hanuman, Ganga, and serpent deities inside and outside the temple complex.

The temple is considered one of the major Bhadrakali temples in Kerala. The temple celebrates a rare menstruation festival for Bhadrakali, called Thripputhu (Malayalam: തൃപ്പൂത്ത്), during which the temple is closed for three days for the irregular menstruation of the deity.[2] There are five daily pujas done in the temple, three sarabalies for Shiva and three for Bhadrakali. Tantric worship is led by a member of the Thazhamon Madom family. The yearly festival (vaarshika ulsavam) is celebrated from December to January and lasts 28 days. The temple is administered by the Travancore Devaswom Board.
