Thrissur

I visited this place just to visit my closest friends home. he has been pestering me to come to his place for the past one and half years but usually something comes up due to which i could not make it. This time i finally got the time and opportunity to go.

for those who don't know Thrissure is know as the "cultural Capital of Kerala". Mostly famous for its Poorams(temple festivals), it has many great places to hang out which includes kerala's oldest mall, a lake to spend ur evening driving away whatever tesnions you have and many more places.

Once in the place u cant miss the famous Swaraj Round Also known as Thrissur Round, around which the whole town is built. There are also the temple of which the most famous are the Vadakumnathan Temple and the Paramekkavu Bagavathi Temple. These two temples are the main for the Trissure Pooram which is held annually.

There is also the Basilica of Our Lady of Dolours Also known as Puthan Pally, this is the biggest and tallest church in Asia, situated in the heart of the city. The gothic arcitecture used in this church is amazing. The bible tower gives you a great view of the city, but the climb can be a bit long and steep :)

If u go there dont miss the Vadakkechira. This is one of the largest pond located north of the city. The atmosphere will make u feel that u are not in a town, even if u are still only a few meters away from a busy traffic junction. A great place to spend your evening, if with friends the better.

Then visit the City center, one of the first formed malls in kerala and is maintained very well. With a variety of shops to wet a shopping happy persons apetite. Talking of apetite, the mall also houses excellent eatries which can surly wet your apetite :)

The town when u think of is small but has many things which can surprise you. actually i now have an ilking for the place that have been to this place twice in the past 2 months. :)
