Aruvikkara is a popular picnic spot in the vicinity of Thiruvananthapuram, located at a distance of 16 km from the city center. Aruvikkara is situated on the banks of River Karamana and is famous for the Aruvikkara Dam and Aruvikkara Devi Temple, dedicated to Goddess Durga. Near the temple is a meandering stream replete with fish that quite fearlessly swim close to the shore in schools to have the crumbs thrown in by the visitors. The fish here are considered holy, and feeding them is believed to cure ailments such as warts, whiteheads and blemishes on the skin. Boating facilities are available at the reservoir.
