Ezhava Siva Ezhava is a caste in Kerala. Shiva is a Hindu god. Ezhava Siva refers to Siva idol consecrated by social reformer Sree Narayana Guru at Aruvippuram, in 1888. This was major break from tradition as installation of idols by non Brahmins was considered blasphemy and Sree Narayana Guru belonged to the lower caste Ezhava community. 〔http://newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/article167942.ece?service=print 〕 == Consecration of Ezhava Siva Lingam at Aruvippuram== Till early part of 20th century, Ezhavas and other lower castes were not allowed inside Hindu temples. During Sree Narayana Guru's wandering life he happened to be at Aruvippuram in 1888. He decided to build a place of worship for Ezhavas. He picked up a stone from near by Neyyar river and used it as an idol for the proposed temple and consecrated it. 〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=125 years of Aruvipuram Pratishta )〕 This act challenged age old Brahmin hegemony. When many Brahmin priests questioned his right to do so, he replied famously that what he installed was an "Ezhava Siva". Thus leaving those questioned tongue tied. 〔〔 He also set up temples at Aluva, Vypin, Cherai, and Moothakunnam.
