Location: 5 km east of Thiruvalla
Kaviyoor, located on the banks of the river Manimala, is famous for its temples.
The Kaviyoor Trikkukkudi Cave Temple or the Rock Cut Cave Temple has been dated to a period as early as the eighth century AD because of its close resemblance to the Pallava style of architecture. The engravings at the temple are among the earliest specimens of stone sculptures in Kerala.
Another noted shrine here is the Hanuman Temple, which stands on a small hillock and is built in the gable style architecture peculiar to Kerala. |
