A Vishnu temple with a massive fort gateway has been built in Dravidian style and is closed to non-Hindus.

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.

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.

Great place to visit especially for kids aged 5 or above. A full fledged entertainer with zero wastage of our money and time . Very well maintained; the effort taken to retain the place in its original beauty is highly commendable. One of its kind here and a guaranteed tourist attraction we can suggest to anyone visiting Trivandrum. The shows include magic, circus, and more magic! All artists are highly talented and keeps us engaged throughout the visit. Besides the fun and frolic, the place is home to the Different Art Centre, a unique initiative working towards the upliftment of kids with special needs. Their shows are sure to keep us in awe and spellbound. Operates strictly with Covid protocols ensuring full protection and frequent sanitization
