Trikkannad Tryambakeshwara Temple and Pandiyan Kallu are two renowned attractions in Kasaragod, Kerala. Trikkannad is a Hindu temple situated on the shores of the Arabian Sea, while Pandiyan Kallu is a rock formation that emerges from the sea.
Trikkannad Tryambakeshwara Temple, also known as Dhakshina Kashi, is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located approximately 1 km from Bekal. The temple is famous for its rich traditions and customs, and hosts an annual temple festival.
Pandiyan Kallu is a rock formation located approximately 2 km from the Trikkannad temple, rising from the sea. According to legend, this rock was once a ship belonging to a Pandya king that was transformed into a rock after the king attempted to attack the temple from the ship. Pandiyan Kallu is a popular destination for adventurous swimmers, although swimming is prohibited during the monsoon season and high tide for safety reasons.
