Nestled within the tranquil village of Memunda, Lokanarkavu Temple, also known as LOKAMALAYARKAVU, stands as a testament to Kerala's rich cultural heritage. Located approximately 5 KM east of Vadakara town, this temple village beckons pilgrims and travelers to delve into its sacred precincts steeped in history and tradition. Lokanarkavu Temple boasts a distinctive layout, housing three principal deities in separate temples within the compound. Each temple, dedicated to Vishnu, Parasakthi, and Siva, boasts its own sanctum sanctorum, rituals, and festivals. The Vishnu temple, believed to be over 2000 years old, stands as the oldest among the trio, with a rare Vishnu idol sanctified by Lord Parasurama himself—a unique feature indeed. The Bhagavathi temple, constructed adjacent to Vishnu's abode, led to a decline in the former's prominence. The relatively newer Siva temple, at 400 years old, completes this divine trinity, adding to the temple's allure.
