The Temple is
believed to have been constructed by “Kolathiri” Kings during medieval
period on a plateau land generally known now as “Madai Para” in Madai
Village, Kannur Taluk and District of Kerala State. This is
situating 22 km north of Kannur, the Head Quarter Town.
The “Kolathiri” Kingdom is an inherent branch of erstwhile “Mooshaka”
Dynasty, which ruled “Ezhimala” empire during 5th to 8th
Century. About 1200 years back a branch of their dynasty had
migrated and settled down at Madai, which was then an important port and
trading center, 4 km south of Ezhimala. They constructed
castles and temples and established their head quarters on “Madai Para”,
a significant plateau land lying at about 150 ft height from the sea
level having sight to an extent of 20 km from all sides. Sree Vadukunda
Siva Temple was thus constructed on “Madai Para” in the southwest corner
of it at a holy spot due to the presence of the divine power of
“Swayambhoo” of lord Siva.......... |
