Vizhinjam rock caves

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vizhinjam Rock Cut Cave contains the rock cut sculptures of the 18th century in the cave temple at Vizhinjam. The granite cave encloses a one-celled shrine with a loose sculpture of Vinandhara Dakshinamurthi. The outer wall of the cave depicts half-complete reliefs of the Hindu God Shiva with Goddess Parvathi.

It is about 17 kilometers from the city. The cave was left unnoticed for a number of years.
