According to the website of the Aazhimala Siva temple,

Among the shores of Kerala, an ancient center named Aazhimala Shiva Temple is blessed with its natural beauty. As the name suggests it is situated between the huge rocks and stands at the edge of the ocean.

India’s largest Gangadheswara Siva statue is situated on the shores of the Arabian Sea, from Vizhinjam and 6 km from Kovalam.

Work having finished early, Sanu drives us there to have a look at it. The sun makes it difficult to take the kind of photo it deserves. Apparently dusk or dawn suit it better.

The beach looks out over the “vast Arabian Sea” which does indeed look suitably vast.
