About Thiruvananthapuram

Thiruvananthapuram or Trivandrum is the capital of Kerala, one of the most beautiful states in India. It is also called as God’s own country by its natural beautiful beaches, historic monuments, lakes and backwaters and mountain ranges. It is situated on the southern tip of Malabar Coast in Peninsular India. "Thiru -anantha-puram" means the town of the sacred thousand-headed snake-god Ananthan. Anantha is the serpent Sesha on whom Padmanabhan or Vishnu reclines. The temple of Vishnu reclining on Anantha, the Sri Padmanabhasamy Temple remains the iconic landmark of the city.
