Chamarovattom

Around 15 km west of Tirur is the Sastha Temple believed to be built by the renowned sculpture, Perunthachan. The idol of Lord Ayappa here stands at the same level as the river Bharatpuzha that flows behind. During monsoons, when the flood water fills in the temple and the surrounding area, arattu or the holy bathing of the idol is carried out.
