At Malamel, there is a huge rock on which there is a famous Shiva Temple. Temple festival is held on 3 December. The temple has 5 doors and is considered to be divine and ancient because of the close proximity of ''Jadayupara'' ([[Chadayamangalam]]) (the rock that ''Jadayu'' carried on his wings).  It has also a cave at extreme left of the temple, into which a British Adventurer in the year 1946, tried in vain to venture, and which leads to the [[Kulathupuzha|Kulathupuzha Forest]].  This cave is believed to be a haven for very venomous snakes.
