Situated on the banks of the river Manimala, Kaviyoor is known for its temples. The Kaviyoor Trikkukkudi Cave Temple, also known as the Rock Cut Cave Temple, is of great historical importance and is preserved as a monument by the Archaeological Department. It bears close resemblance to the Pallava style of architecture and according to the archaeologists, it dates back to the eighth century AD. The engravings at this temple are among the earliest specimens of stone sculptures in Kerala. Enshrined in a square cave is the main deity of the shrine Lord Siva represented in the ' Sivalinga', which is about three feet high and carved out of rock. The shrine also has idols of Maharshi, Ganapathy and Dwarapalakas. The Hanuman Temple is another noted shrine in Kaviyoor, which stands on a small hillock and is built in the gable style architecture uncharacteristic to Kerala.
