Sukapuram

Dakshinamurthy (Siva) Temple

Shukapuram, colloquially Chokiram, is a village in Ponnani taluk, Malappuram district of Kerala. It is located near Edappal, on the plains south of the Bharathappuzha. The village is one of the earliest Brahmin settlements ("Sukapuram gramam") in Kerala.

Sukapuram is famous for its Dakshinamurthy Shiva Temple. It is believed to have been established by the Vedic rishi Shuka.[1] Siva as Dakshinamurthy is the principal deity of the temple, with his consort Parvathy and son Ganapathy. The Grade-B temple is administrated by an executive officer under Malabar Devaswom Board (Malappuram Division).[2]

Renovations and restorations

An agreement was signed between Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) and Devaswom Board for setting transit camp complexes (edathavaloms) for Sabarimala pilgrims in several Kerala temples, including Sukapuram, in 2018. The temple is expected to receive Rs. 10 crore from KIIFB to set up edathavaloms in one and a half year.[3][4] Travancore Devaswom Board is expected to manage the KIIFB funded work. There were also calls from the temple officials to spend some amount of the funding to restore the medieval carvings in the srikovil of the temple.[5]

The temple is expected to receive an additional 8 crores for renovation and restoration. This include funding from Archaeology Department and Government of Kerala (Tourism Circuit).[5]

The festival in the month of January with caparisoned elephants and percussion is famous in the region.
