Kaviyoor Mahadeva Temple

Kaviyoor Mahadevar Temple has a unique style of architecture and is one of the oldest of the Mahadeva temples in Kerala. It is believed to have been constructed in the early years of the 10th century and the 'Kaviyoor Shasanas' of 950 AD has references to the gifts that were offered to this temple. But the actual time of construction is not known, like any other old temples. Certainly, this temple belongs to the oldest period of structural temples.

Kaviyoor Mahadeva Temple is also known as Hanuman Temple, and Sriparvati Temple. The similar Construction of such temple can be found near Aluva, called Tiruvairanikulam Sri Parvati temple. Similarity can be reviewed as both temple having Lord Siva pratishta(idol), and behind the temple there is pratishta of Sri Parvati.

The Sreekrishna Temple: To the west of the Shiva temple, this temple, on the shore of a reservoir, existed much before the Mahadeva temple. Its location is unique in that the mound over which the Shiva temple was built hides this shrine from the rising sun. Since the temple is below the level of the main temple it is also called Keezhthrikkovil ( കീഴ് തൃക്കോവില്‍)

The temple festival is held in December–January of every year. Hanuman Jayanthi, the birth anniversary of Lord Hanuman is also celebrated along with the temple festival.
