About
The Padmanabhaswamy Temple is located in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. It is considered the wealthiest place of worship in the world, renowned for the vast treasures stored in its underground vaults. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in the 'Anantha Shayana' posture (reclining on the serpent Anantha).
The architecture is a blend of the indigenous Kerala style and the Dravidian style associated with the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu. The temple features high walls and a 16th-century Gopuram.
Only Hindus are permitted entry, and a strict dress code must be followed. The temple is closely associated with the Travancore Royal Family, who continue to act as custodians.
