Not very far from Kanhangad, almost like a cultural border to Kerala and Karnataka. The temple has a lot of interesting stories associated with the diety Badrakali and Siva the dwarapalaka. There are two ponds, one for devotees and the other for the poojari. Mornings are like awesome peaceful & a holy ambiance. There are some carvings inside and one would need to take off the shirt to go inside and see them, the large lamp outside the temple is iconic to this temple. Literally, a countryside temple built of laterite stones.

Still reeling from the extraordinary experience of my visit to the gopalakrishna temple at nileshwar. The sense of wholeness and devotion that one experiences from the visit is something that I have felt only at places like kedarnath.
