Thrissur, Urban district capital in Kerala, India

The city extends around Thekkinkadu Maidanam, a 65-acre hillock containing the Vadakkunnathan Temple, rising 47 meters above sea level in central Kerala.

Thrissur functioned as the capital of the Kingdom of Cochin, with influences from various civilizations including Assyrians, Greeks, Persians, Romans, and Portuguese.

The Kerala Sangeetha Nadaka Academy and Kerala Sahitya Academy maintain the traditional arts, making Thrissur a major center for South Indian performance.

The city connects through national highways and railway networks to major destinations, with regular bus services operating from the central station to surrounding areas.

Local jewelry manufacturing accounts for 70 percent of Kerala's gold production, establishing Thrissur as the primary center for precious metal craftsmanship.
