About Ganeshan Kavu Dharmadam Sathram
Ganeshan Kavu Dharmadam Sathram, Theyyam kavu represents divinity in its most primal form, as the structure has no roof and merges seamlessly into its rural ambiance. The temple originally belonged to Payyanattu Parambathu’s joint family. It is now being renovated by a public organization however, the temple retains the family name. It is unclear why this temple was named as Ganeshan Kavu .
