History & tradition
Kaviyoor Mahadeva Temple, also called Thrikkaviyoor, is at Kaviyoor near Thiruvalla in the Pathanamthitta district of Kerala. The main deity is Mahadeva (Shiva) with Parvati, and the temple is equally well known for its Hanuman shrine. It stands on a small hillock: twenty-one broad steps lead up to the eastern gopuram and into a long anakkottil. The eastern courtyard has a golden flagmast with a tall lamp-mast on either side, and a laterite wall encloses about two acres. It is one of the special-grade temples under the Travancore Devaswom Board, about 5 km from Thiruvalla.
