957,730 inhabitants and over 1.68 million with its conurbation. Although it reverted to its original name in 1991, Thiruvananthapuram is still frequently referred to as Trivandrum. Kerala's capital is quiet, airy and one of the most pleasant of all Indian state capitals. Away from the hustle and bustle of M.G. Road, take a stroll through the maze of lanes and discover traditional Kerala. Traditional Kerala architecture blends with Victorian influences, and the city is dotted with temples, churches and mosques. Many travelers see it as a gateway to the beach resorts of Kovalam and Varkala, but Trivandrum is well worth exploring, not least for its rich historical and cultural heritage. The town is now internationally famous for being home to the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple, where a treasure trove was discovered in the summer of 2011.
