Ayinikkatttu Mahavishnu temple is an ancient temple that is lying in ruins at Challissery in Palakkad district of Kerala. The temple has a beautiful architecture. The sight of Lord Mahavishnu smiling amidst the ruins is enough for devotees to do whatever is required for restoring the temple and restarting worship at the temple site.

The temple ruins is in a region that was ravaged during the invasion of Tipu Sultan many centuries back. The temple compound bears visible marks of destruction. Another idol can be found in the temple site, which has been badly mutilated with the face and legs cut off using sharp weapons.

We have started the revival of the temple by lighting the lamp and prayers for Lord Mahavishnu. Agnisooktham was chanted along with another Mantra and ceremonial offerings were made as part of the Upacharas for Lord Mahavishnu.

As the news spread, the entire village has now come together for restarting worship at the temple.
