Thrissur

Cultural Capital of Kerala

Kerala, a state in southern India, has the city of Thrissur. It is renowned for its holy places and vibrant festivities. Vadakkumnathan Temple, which is located in the middle and honours Lord Shiva, is decorated with murals. Nearby lies the elaborate, Indo-Gothic Our Lady of Dolours Basilica. Elephants can be found at Thiruvambady Temple, which lies to the north. Bronze statues and antique coins can be found in the archaeology museum at Sakthan Thampuran Palace.

Kerala’s economic links with other regions of the world were greatly aided by the Thrissur region. The city was once known as Trichur, and Lord Parasurama, Lord Vishnu’s sixth avatar, is credited with founding it.
