The Nedumpura temple in a major Hindu temples complex in Trichur district. The complex includes a two-storey Shiva temple with apsidal floor plan as the main temple, along with following square plan shrines – Vishnu, Bhagavati, Sastha and Ganesha. It is difficult to date the different shrines in this complex precisely because of a lack of inscriptions within the complex and because the entire complex has been restored and modified in the 20th-century. However, secondary 12th century inscriptions found in nearby villages refer to this temple, which suggest that this is a pre-12th century temple complex.
The main temple is a sandhara-style Hindu temple that faces east. Like many Kerala temple, the adhisthana is made of granite and the wall are of laterite blocks. The adhisthana includes upana, jagati, vritta kumuda, kampa, kantha and pattika – architectural elements per Sanskrit Hindu texts on temple architecture. Above the adhisthana is the vedi with floral designs and padas. In front of the apsidal vimana is a namaskara mandapam, roofs of both are built with a wooden frame and then copper clad.
Inside the vimana is a small square mandapam and apsidal garbhagriyam – around and co-axial with both is a circumambulation passage. The square shrines in the complex are smaller. The entire complex has a nalambalam surrounding it. The premises include a Kerala torana-style gopuram.
