The Ochira temple, located in Kollam, is a unique temple of its own kind. A striking feature of the Temple is that there is no deity in the temple complex. More over, the temple also do not have any Pujari to perform rituals. The temple is dedicated to universal conciousness and has no idol of any god. The structure of the temple is also not like any traditional temple. It is a place of equal devotion for all religions. The temple is also known as Dakshina Kashi and a unique offering to the temple is in the form of bulls. Another interesting aspect in connection with the temple is the annual festival called Ochira Kali, where men, both young and old, step into waterlogged paddy fields and indulge in mock fights, involving physical skills of the participants
