more-inPerhaps nowhere else in India is the history of a land so intricately linked to the history of a temple as in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of erstwhile Travancore and today’s Kerala. The story of the temple reflects an exceptionally rich tradition shaped by many communities, kings and queens. That rich tapestry of history, tradition and lore has been brought together in a special volume on the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple by The Hindu. The volume has articles, accompanied by brilliant pictures, on the traditions associated with the temple, its rich history, its amazing architectural splendour and the many rituals and festivities associated with it. The collector’s item also has a portfolio of photographs, including a few rare ones, from The Hindu Photo Archives.
