Description009202022 Harikanyaka Temple, Ariyannur Kerala 035.jpg
English: The Harikanyaka temple is a 14th-century restored Shakti (goddess) tradition Hindu temple in Ariyannur near Thrissur. The site is older and linked to the regionally popular Mohini avatar of Vishnu, the Vedic legend where he takes the female form to persuade Asuras during the Samudra Manthan. It is this legend that gives this site its name "Hari-kanyaka".
The Harikanyaka temple is presently dedicated to Bhagavathy (Durga). It has a notable entrance gate, wood artwork, and faded murals. The complex includes several mandapams and a square plan vimana.
