Not just the religious significance of being one of the oldest Shiva temples in Kerala, the magnificent backdrop of the turbulent sea and golden beach make it one of the most visited tourist destinations near Kovalam. The Aazhimala temple derives its name from ‘Aazhi’ meaning Sea and ‘Mala’ the Hill. The temple is frequented by Shiva devotees and tourists, especially on Tuesdays.
