Pasupatheeswarar, Alloor is a beautiful ancient temple but sadly unattended or protected. The surrounding area is planted with Teak trees and surrounded by Mango grove, but we do not know whether the temple management has done this or some encroachers. Needs attention and protection urgently to prevent misuse. Temple may not be open mostly.

Looking at the immaculate Vimanana over the sanctum sanctorum, the stone construction and the adjoining temple pond Pasupatheeswarar, Alloor is sure to have been a large temple in the ancient past.
