Kilimarathukavu Siva Parvathy Temple is a Hindu temple in Kadakkal, Kollam, Kerala. During the Pandavas' exile in the forest, Arjuna travelled to perform penance for Lord Shiva to seek the Pashupatastra. One day during his journey, he rested on a rock. As he continued his journey after waking up, a bird flew around him, chirping. Intrigued by the bird's call, Arjuna meditated. Upon awakening, he noticed the bird and decided to follow it. The bird flew daily and eventually reached a valley, finally settling on a tree as high as the sky, near a clear stream, which captured Arjuna's attention. The bird perched on a more large tree called "Kilimaram" and gazed at Arjuna. Arjuna sensed the bird communicating that this was the place for his penance. The bird plucked three leaves from a nearby "Koovalam" tree and placed them there. Feeling guided, Arjuna began his penance for Lord Shiva. This place became known as "Kilimarathil Kavu" and later "Kilimarathukavu." Arjuna bathed in a nearby pond and worshipped the Shiva Lingam stone he found there. As his penance intensified, Lord Shiva, urged by Parvati, approached Arjuna disguised as a wild man, while Parvati appeared as a wild woman. Meanwhile, a monster sent by Duryodhana to kill Arjuna appears to be a pig. Both Arjuna and the wild man (Lord Shiva) attacked the pig with arrows. An argument ensued between Arjuna and the wild man over who had struck the pig. Arjuna struck the wild man with his bow, "Gandiva." Parvati intervened and revealed the wild man's true identity as Lord Shiva. Realizing this, Arjuna performed a sashtanga namaskar, and Lord Shiva bestowed upon him the Pashupatastra and his blessings. Deities including Ganapathy, Murugan, Sastha, and Anjaneya requested to witness Lord Shiva's form as the wild man. Finally, everyone gathered, and Lord Shiva told Arjuna, "The place where we are now is very sacred, and whoever comes here for prayer shall be blessed." After saying this, Lord Shiva disappeared, and a Shivalingam manifested at that spot. Today, two Shivalingams are worshipped at Kilimarathukavu Temple.
