Payyanur Sri Subramanya Swami Temple
Kerala

Temple, constructed by Parasurama is known as the 'Pazhani' of Kerala.The place got its name from 'Payyante Ooru' where Payyan is another name by which Subramanya was called.

There are references about this temple in Brahmanda purana. Muni Garga mentions this temple and the place to  the Pandavas when they were in Vanavasa. Temple was destroyed two times, once due to fire and then during the attack of Tipu Sultan.

Important tradition here is wearing of Pavithram by the temple priest. Pavithram is a sort of  ring worn during performing Vedic rituals or during the "pithrubali". Usually worn while performing Tarpana or Shradham. The traditional Pavitram is usually made of Dharbha grass

Payyanur Pavithram is made of gold and silver.
Temple priest wears it before starting pujas in temple. The Pavithram is to be worn on the right ring finger. Ring will bring grace and success to one who wears it with the deep devotion and trust in Bhagwan.
