Kalamassery Mahaganapathy Temple History and Significance

The temple was founded in 1980 by Mr. N. Raghunatha Menon, a prominent resident of Kalamassery. Initially, it comprised two concrete structures housing the shrines of Lords Mahaganapathy and Subrahmanya, along with the Navagrahas. In 2000, an upper structure was added, incorporating shrines for Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvathi, Dakshinamoorthy, and Chandikeswara. The temple complex spans approximately 5,000 square feet and lacks outer walls. A Peepal tree stands in front of the Ganapathy shrine, enhancing the serene atmosphere. The proximity of the busy Eloor-Kalamassery road to the temple has led to the deity being colloquially referred to as 'Road-side Ganapathy'.
