Historical roots

Aluva's Sivarathri festival has been observed for centuries, with the natural swayambhu lingam believed to emerge from the Periyar river sand during the festival. The FACT plant, established in the post-independence period, was among the pioneering industrial projects of Kerala and represents the state's industrial heritage. Aluva's position on the Periyar river has made it a significant transit and commercial node connecting Kochi to the high ranges of Idukki.

Connectivity

Aluva railway station on the Ernakulam-Thrissur line. Aluva Metro station on the Kochi Metro (gateway to the metro system). NH-544 road connectivity. Approximately 18 km from Ernakulam.
