About Kunnumbram Maadathin Keezhil Vaira Jaatha Temple
This is a rare and beautiful temple with double sanctums roofed with copper leaves. The Vaira Jaatha idol was installed in the temple after the existing idol was removed.

The temple is at the Kokkodu bus stop on the Kannur - Payyanur - Pilathara road.
