Aruvikkara Dam and Garden
Kovalam, Kerala, India
Aruvikkara Dam is a charming picnic spot and a popular local attraction located on the Karamana River, offering a refreshing break from the coastal scenery. The dam itself is a picturesque structure, and the reservoir it creates is surrounded by lush green landscapes. What adds to its charm is the presence of the ancient Aruvikkara Bhagavathi Temple, dedicated to the Goddess Bhadrakali, perched on a rock in the middle of the river. This unique setting makes the temple a significant pilgrimage site and a scenic point of interest. The temple is famous for its "fish feeding" ritual, where devotees feed the fish (believed to be sacred) in the clear waters below the temple, an activity that delights children and adults alike. Adjacent to the dam, there's a well-maintained garden that provides a pleasant environment for relaxation and leisurely strolls. The cool breeze from the river, combined with the greenery, makes it an ideal spot for family outings and picnics. You can also find facilities for boating on the reservoir, offering a serene experience amidst the natural beauty. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the spiritual significance of the temple and the recreational opportunities of the garden, makes Aruvikkara a delightful day trip destination. It offers a glimpse into the local life and traditions away from the typical tourist crowds, providing a peaceful and rejuvenating experience.
