Vizhinjam rock caves

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.
