Mahadeva
temple :
 The
Kaviyoor Mahadeva temple, which was constructed
in the early years of the 10th century, is one
of the oldest of the Mahadeva temples in Kerala.
References are there in the Kaviyoor Shasanas
of 950 A.D. about the gifts that were offered
to this temple.But it is believed that the 'Darusilpas'
seen around the temple belong to the 17th century.
Thekekudi Cave Temple in Kaviyoor Panchayat
is one of the rare cave temples of Kerala.It
is assumed that this temple is constructed in
the Pallava architectural style and was
built in the 8th century. Apart from Ganapathi,
Maharshi and Dwarapalaka idols in the Sreekovil,
which are inside the cave, there is also a Sivalinga,
which is about three feet in height.
