Reviewed By EASWAR52 - Mumbai, India

This is one of the oldest temples in Trivandrum. It is very famous and powerful. One must spend considerable time here to have a glimpse of all the important places like, the main deity sree Padmanabhan, darshan of all other deities inside, visit around the premises full of sculptures etc A crowded temple with limited darshan timings and dress codes. A visit to this temple will certainly make you satisfied, fulfilled and happy. Many poojas are available here to suit varied prayers of devotees. Definitely a must see temple and land mark in Trivandrum.

Worth the climb (or the lift!) for the views across the bays. Stunning red and white set against the bluest of skies makes the lighthouse and the beach well worth a visit.

I am a frequent visitor of this beach.I loved this beach because of the sitting arrangement,crowds,small tea stall,good hotels like old coffee house,the statue of Mathsyakanyaka,art gallery,etc.Atleast 2 hours can be passed by simply watching beach.A lot of ice cream stalls.Better to avoid visit on holidays,too much rush and difficult to park cars.Byk can be parked anywhere.

Mall of Travancore

Reviewed By Anilkrishna50

Good morning Mall of Travancore, I would like to thank each and everyone for keeping the Mall like this. Yesterday me and my family came there for Shopping. Me, mom, sister and my cousin had a wonderful experience from the Mall. When i visited there, I felt it was like heaven. I had visited many times there, but yesterday was really amazing. I am really very happy to say that Mall of Travancore will become one of the best Mall in Trivandrum. Apart from that I have to Congratulate each and every one, who worked hard for the decorations and all (Especially Cleaning Team). It was really very Neet and Clean when I was seeing there. I think this is the first time that im seeing the Mall like this. I visited one of the Mall in Dubai few years back, but this is something differ than other Malls. The Mall was in a hurry mood yesterday due to an event which is infront of the Mall, even though things you managed is very well. You guys are maintaining the things like anything. The Air freshener was good in the entire area and the bathroom was very neet. Thanks to the cleaning staffs for the efforts you put yesterday. One suggestion from my end : Please give awareness to the Security peoples. Because my sister asked to the Security guy about the Shoe brand, they don't know where is it actually. And the Escalator was not really working yesterday, but the Security didn't lead the peoples to the next way. Thank you very much and all the very best Team. Take the Mall to the Next Level Regards, Anil UST GLOBAL Technopark Trivandrum
