The Ramapuram Maha Vishnu temple in Eramam village is a 10th-century Mushika dynasty era Hindu temple in north Malabar region of Kerala. The site has been restored, yet retains the ruins of the original plinth, walls, artwork and the mutilated Vishnu statue. This Mahavishnu kovil has been a source of inscriptions relating to this region and the Mushika (Mushaka) dynasty. The temple has a square plan and follows the design principles found in ancient Sanskrit texts for temples.
