Trivandrum Travel
The
capital of the state of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram or the City of the Sacred
Snake, is built over seven hills. Named after
Anantha, the thousand -
headed serpent of Hindu mythology, the city once formed a part of the Travancore
kingdom, its capital at Padmanabhapuram, now a part of Tamil Nadu.
Thiruvananthapuram is, decidedly, one of the cleaner and well-planned cities
of the country. The city's scenic appeal, its enchanting beaches, and overwhelming
greenery only add to its uniqueness. It embodies the magical feel of Kerala,
as a whole, and lends terrific insight into the culture of the state. The red-tiled
roofs, the never-ending stretches of palm trees, the maze of narrow, winding
streets and above all, the sea, make for a fascinating mixture. There is an
element of understated and effortless elegance about the city, which leaves
a lasting impression on the visitor.
