Sree Padmanabaswamy Temple, Trivandrum

Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Trivandrum

The Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple is one of my favorite temples, mainly because I lived around the temple for so many years and the festivals of the temple were my childhood fantasies.  The notable festival is the Aaarattu festival and Navarathri festival during which we used to regularly visit.  The city of Thiruvananthapuram received its name from the temple - Thiru Anantha Puram, the Adobe of Lord Anantha Padmanabha.
