Village : Azhikode
Taluk : Kodungalloor
District : Thrissur
Location : About 6 km from Kodungalloor
The Marthoma Church is located on the bank of River Periyar. A holy relic of St. Thomas the Apostle of Jesus is enshrined here for public worship. The sannidhi is opened to the pilgrims every day on request, so that they can pay their tribute and worship at close quarters.
Azhikode derived its name from azhimugham, meaning an opening to the sea, since it is here that the Periyar joins with the Arabian Sea. Boating facilities for pilgrims are available at a moderate rate at the Marthoma Gate on the river. Other facilities for pilgrims here include a light and sound show, dining hall, mini auditorium, daily stalls for mementos, research books, and scenery posters.
