Tourism in Thiruvananthapuram
Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of the kaleidoscopic state of Kerala is named through a combination of the words 'tiru' 'anantha' and 'puram', meaning 'the abode of the sacred thousand headed serpent Anantha'. Mythlogically, Anantha forms the couch where which Lord Vishnu resides. This political, commercial and tourist center is built on seven hills. You could row a canoe to reach the Kovalam beach, the paradise a little south of city where tourists from all over the world throng to various massage and ayurveda centers besides the Yoga and the meditation centers that abound here. The Padmanabha Swamy temple with its renowned mural paintings and stone carvings is dedicated to Lord Vishnu is worth more than a visit.
