Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Hindu temple in Thiruvananthapuram, India
The main shrine contains a 5.5-meter reclining statue of Lord Vishnu, crafted from 12,008 sacred black stones brought from Nepal's Gandaki River.
The temple's construction began in the 6th century, with significant renovations by Travancore King Marthanda Varma in the 1730s to create its current structure.
The traditional Kerala architecture features stone carvings, copper-sheet roofing, granite columns, and distinctive mural paintings depicting Hindu mythology throughout the complex.
The temple opens daily from 3:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 8:45 PM, with designated areas for non-Hindus to view the architecture.
The temple's subterranean vaults contain extensive collections of gold ornaments, precious stones, and artifacts, making it one of India's wealthiest religious institutions.
