Wonderful temple to stroll through. There are snakes that are cared for by the priests but they are not seen unless there is a religious event such as Shivratri taking place. The property is large and has footpath trails to the temple buildings and the grounds are well kept.

Ettumanoor Mahadeva temple is an ancient Shiva temple in Kottayam, Kerala. Ezhara Ponnana, the annual festival, at the Temple is a popular and historic one.
The story of Ezhara Ponnana is linked to the king’s rule. Ezhara means seven-and-a-half and Ponnana means golden elephant. Made of wood and covered in gold, each of the seven elephants is two feet high and the eighth one is of one foot only. Hence they are together called seven-and-a-half elephants. The Ezhara Ponnana procession being held in the last day (10th day) of the festival.

This falls is a must visit. One of the most cinematic astounding place - especially became famous after it was featured in international acclaimed block buster movie "Baahubali". Our memories to this Waterfalls are adventurous and funny. We just managed to reach this place at the last minutes of closing hours after a long and adventurous trail thru jungle suggested by Google maps. (may add interesting details later in my 2nd edit)
We forgot all our exhaustion after we reached to this landscape area with a huge capacity to carry volumes of water down the fall. We couldn't explore much as it was already setting dark. We'd visit this again at the next opportunity.
Guided information for tourist isn't easy. One needs to take a detour going down the hill to have the cinematic view of the falls. Don't miss this.
(we visited this place in December 2015)
This place is pretty crowded. Avoid reaching late. This is a ticketed entry place. Parking a vehicle can be a problem. roads are good. plenty of street / road side eateries available. safe for kids. not friendly for disabled or old aged people.

I really don't get the high ratings of all the Indian Beaches. Must be from people who have never been anywhere else. The beach is ok, not special, but littered with garbage. 4 small beach restaurants, with reasonable prices, but you can't get a beer on this beach. Definitely not worth the 300 rupees for a tuk tuk each way from Allepey

Reviewed By Dhairyashil V - Pune, India
The Edapally Church complex comprises mainly of the old and new holy churches Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ and St. George. The ancient church is said to date back 14 centuries! St. George is one of the most revered saints in Christianity. As the legend goes, he was a roman soldier and military officer in the roman army. Emperor Diocletian ordered his death after he did not renounce his Christian faith and thus became a Christian martyr. Lakhs of people around the world claim St. George as their patron and St. George's Day is celebrated every year throughout the world.
The inside of both the old and new churches are awe inspiring. The sculptures, paintings behind the altar, the angels inside of the churches etc. though breathtaking create a calm and pious surroundings where one can pray and seek the blessings of Mother Mary, Infant Jesus and St. George in peace.
Said to be the biggest pilgrim centre of St. George in Asia it really is a blessed place.

Very friendly and welcoming temple - we were even invited to look inside the area usually restricted to Hindus only. Males need to remove shirts to enter this area.
Lucky enough to see the temples elephant having a wash!
Witnessing the devotion of Indian Hindus is very humbling.
