Neeramonkara Temple

Neeramonkara Siva temple belongs to the 14th century A.D. It is in circular Dravida style raised on a circular paved disc which forms the outer path of circumambulation. The temple is in Sandhara Prasada ; it has an inner covered ambulatory in addition to the one in the open. This lies behind the circular wall. Steps lead up to it. The inner wall of this inner ambulatory is square; it is the wall of the prasada proper. It is surmounted by an octagonal dome. The central shrine containing a linga is built of laterite, and between it and the circular prakara wall there are pillars, two on each side of the four sides.

Considering its structural peculiarity the temple was declared as protected monument by the Travancore government in 1940.
