The Pietà Sculpture at Poovar beautifully captures Mother Mary holding Jesus, inspired by the iconic Pietà. Set on a raised white rock with a cross, right where the Neyyar River meets the Arabian Sea, this spot feels calm, spiritual, and untouched.
Surrounded by gentle waves, golden light, and backwater silence, it’s one of the most underrated spots in this region. Most boat rides pause here, giving you a moment to slow down, take it in, and capture something truly special.
📍 Built as part of local coastal tourism development in the early 2000s. The exact year is not officially documented.
A must visit if you are exploring Poovar backwaters.
