Aji and his team are really helpful with top quality material and AMAZING finished products. I got some linen shorts copied and they are quite literally an exact match. Very helpful with advice and not even the slightest bit of pushiness which is a nice break shopping in India. Set prices too and its reasonable! My partner gave the most confusing instructions ever for some pants and somehow the tailor nailed it with perfect fitting end products. Very impressed.

Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple

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.

Janardhana Swami Temple

Reviewed By Sura22

Being a very old temple, it has a very rich history. A search for the temple on the internet gives one a quick run throuhg history. The temple and surroundings are clean and very well maintained. Gents are required to be bare chested while in the temple of the main deity. Adjacent to the temple is the temple pond. An early morning visit to the temple to is a great way to meditate and get energised. The west side temple entrance provides road level access to the temple without the need to climbe steep stairs.
