He was hungry for power and believed that he had authority over the throne. But do you know that there is also a temple in India that is only dedicated to Duryodhana? The temple is located on a hill in the Calala collam district and is in itself completely unique. Let us know about this temple. According to a folklore, the story of the temple, when the Pandavas were in captivity, Duryodhana came to the forests of Kerala and searched for him. During that time he reached the town of Malnada, where a chief of tribal served him, giving him food and rest. Fortunately with this love and service, Duryodhana donated land to that town. Later, a temple was built in his memory, known today as Peruviruthi Mallnada Duryodhana -Temple or Duryodhana Mallnada Temple.

People here believe that Duryodhana left the town on Friday and he said he would return next Friday. When he did not return, the villagers acknowledged that his soul had returned and cremated him.
