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.

Pics were not permitted but I did click some from outside. Undoubtedly world class hyper market with choicest of freshly made mouthwatering multiple cusine delicacies sold as take away (except chat and fruit juice)... people thronging and fighting to get Arabian, Kerala, Tandoori, Chinese, Continental food and array of breads with ultra fresh salads n cheese...yet no dearth of piping hot supply from the hyper market kitchen! Priced cheapest in the world and quality best in category. The fish,meat, vegetables,fruits (dry fruits too best of world products) were topmost in quality and freshness personified! Priced cheapest ofcourse. The deals in all veriety of groceries,cosmetics,diary,pickles etc and home needs seemed irresistibly good. Staff over worked and cash counters overflowing but somehow there seemed order and efficiency in all that crowd and chaos. MUST VISIT in cochin and Mall itself is a sure shot full day of fun,food and time well spent on value shopping at competitive rates. Food Court is fantastic and needs another exclusive review.

This is one of the very few beaches in Kerala which is rich in historical significance. This is where the explorer Vasco De Gama anchored his ships in the year 1498. This beach is situated 16 km from Kozhikode, and will involve a beautiful journey through the backwaters of Kozhikode. The waters of Kappad are ideal for swimming. Also at the place can be found an 800 year old temple.
