Thiruvananthapuram's most interesting temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The temple is a blend of the Kerala and Dravidian style of architecture.
It is a best example of South Indian architecture, with an impressive seven -story gopuram. A flagstaff encased in gold stands in the huge courtyard.It is known for its murals and carvings.
In the main courtyard, the Kulashekara mandapam, there is some intricate granite sculpture and nearly 400 pillars are supporting the temple corridors.
Only Hindus are allowed inside the temple and they have rules of clothing. Even the male Hindus, must enter the temple wearing only white dhoti (mundu).
