Cultural Scene in Thiruvananthapuram, Capital of God's Own Country

Trivandrum has a vibrant and eclectic cultural scene. This is an attempt to showcase through photographs some of the events to give a flavour to the common man - not the cognoscenti. I will also post some curious views of Trivandrum which may even be a 'culture shock'! You will find that recently, I have been adding some snippets from the city not necessarily related to culture but give a holistic view of the life in this city.

Vishu moon

Happy Vishu to all. Woke up early for Vishu Kani. The full moon viewed from my balcony was a treat to watch. Could'nt resist the temptation to capture it on camera. Not technically perfect but a good reminder.

One of many wall paintings in Trivandrum The first line in Malayalam reads "Pinnokka Munnani", literally, Backward Front. An oxymoron, if there is one.
