ABOUT THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Thiruvananthapuram, also known as Trivandrum, is the largest city and capital of the Indian state of Kerala. It is also the headquarters of Thiruvananthapuram district. Apart from the politics of Kerala, this is also the center of the educational system. Among the many educational institutions, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology are few of the famous names. This city, situated on the far south-west coast of the mainland of India, was termed by Mahatma Gandhi as the "Ever Green City of India". After forming the Travancore kingdom, Maharaja Marthanada Varma dedicated it to Lord Padmanabha, the presiding deity of Shri Padmanabhaswamy temple and named the city Trivandrum as 'Thiruvananthapuram'. The word 'Thiruvananthapuram' is derived from the Malayalam word thiru- anantha-puram, which means 'City of Lord Ananta'.
