St. George's Monastery is a Syriac Orthodox Monastery (Dayro) situated at a hilltop near Puthencruz, Ernakulam District, Kerala. The monastery was established by Mor Yulius Elias Qoro (Patriarchal delegate to Malankara). The Malankara Syrian Orthodox Seminary began functioning in this monastery and later moved to Udayagiri. The monastery is the final resting place of Catholicos Baselios Paulose II. In 2019, a retreat house named Khanema Hanna Home was consecrated by Ignatius Aphrem II Patriarch near to the Monastery. The present Abbot of Malekurish Dayro is Mor Dioscorus Kuriakose.
