Thiruvananthapuram information
The city of Thiruvananthapuram is situated on the west coast of India. Also known as Trivandrum, its colonial name, it is the capital of the Indian State of Kerala. As well as being the political centre of the State, Thiruvananthapuram is an academic hub.
Thiruvananthapuram is built upon seven low hills and has a long history as a trading post in the region. Referred to by Mahatma Ghandi as the ‘Evergreen City of India’, its name is derived from the word, Thiru Ananthapuram, which means the ‘City of Ananth’, or the home of the sacred serpent Anantha, on which Lord Vishnu reclines. The temple of Vishnu reclining on Anantha (the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple) is an iconic landmark in Thiruvananthapuram.
