==Temple Architecture==
The idol of Lord Shiva is worshiped in the east. The temple is built in Kerala Dravidiyan Style and the sacred edifice and sacrificial wall. It is rich with beautiful wooden sculptures. Outside the palace and the altar, a large ivory tower was built along with the east tower. When you look at the size of the ivory tower, the tower is very small. We also see a copper pillar made of copper between the altar and the ivory wall. The temple pond is built on the north-east corner of the east side of the temple.

Ganapati and Bhagavathi are placed in the four pavilions (Nalambalam). The dedication of Bhagavathi was done recently. In 1978, Bhagavathi was settled in Nambalam with the rituals of Tantric judgment. The idol of the Nagayakshi can also be seen in the northwest corner are facing east. The sanctum sanctorum of the temple is made of numerous sculptures. The temple is renowned for its magnificent wood carvings made of plankton. The sanctum sanctorum is made of two types of rectangles and fed with copper plates.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://templesinindiainfo.com/sree-mahadevar-temple-chittukulam-thrichattukulam-alappuzha/|title=Temples in India - Sree Mahadevar Temple Thrichattukulam|website=www.templesinindiainfo.com}}</ref>
