Kaviyoor Mahadeva Temple, Kerala, Hindu temple in Pathanamthitta, India

Located on a hillock near the Manimala River, Kaviyoor Mahadeva Temple features a three-foot-tall Shivalinga carved from rock inside a square cave.

The temple's architectural elements and stone carvings date back to the 8th century CE, displaying characteristics of the Pallava dynasty construction style.

Devotees gather for three major festivals, including Panthrantukalabham in July, Ayilyam in September, and Thiruvuthsavam during the December-January period.

The temple complex requires specific dress codes where men must wear dhoti without shirts and women need to wear traditional saree or pavada.

The primary deity Thrikkaviyoorappan consists of a Shivalinga created from an unusual combination of sand and darbha grass materials.
