Vizhinjam Rock Cut Cave
The
Vizhinjam Rock Cut Cave is about 17 km from
Thiruvananthapuram city. It is a historic spot
which was left unnoticed for long time. Vizhinjam
Rock Cut Cave basically constitutes the rock
cut sculptures of the 18th century in the cave
temple at Vizhinjam. The granite cave here 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. Another
nearby tourist attraction is the Marine Aquarium
at Vizhinjam which houses the world's rarest
and most exotic species of invertebrates and
fishes.
