Nileshwar Muthappan Madappura is a temple dedicated to the God Sree Muthappan in the town Nileshwar of Kasaragode district, Kerala state, South India. Sree Muthappan is the most popular local god in Kannur district and Kasaragod district of north Kerala. Muthappan is also the theyyam (Muthappan theyyam) performed in the famous Parassinikkadavu temple. ==Myths and Legends about ''Sree Muthappan''== ''Sree Muthappan'' is believed to be the personification of two divine figures - Thiruvappana and Vellatom. Fundamentally the dual divine figures ''Thiruvappana'' and ''vellatom'' are not very different from the Theyyamkaliyattem of the north Malabar region. Though Sree Muthappan represents a single god, it represents two godly figures, Vishnu (with fish-shaped crown) and Shiva (a crescent-shaped crown). ''Sri Muthappan'' as a theyyam is performed year-round whereas other theyyams are seasonal (lasting October to May). Several Muthappan Temples are seen in different parts of Kannur and Kasaragod district. This shows the popularity of the God in the minds of the people of these two districts. Each madappura has its own tradition. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nileshwar Muthappan Madappura」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
