Pazhavangadi Ganapathi Temple, Hindu temple in East Fort, Thiruvananthapuram, India.
Pazhavangadi Ganapathi Temple is a Hindu temple in East Fort, Thiruvananthapuram, featuring a main shrine with a seated Ganesha idol at its center. The structure combines intricate stone carvings with traditional Kerala architectural elements throughout.
The shrine was originally maintained by the Nair Brigade at Padmanabhapuram before being relocated to Thiruvananthapuram. Today it operates under the supervision of the Indian Armed Forces.
The temple walls display 32 different forms of Lord Ganesha, representing various aspects of the elephant-headed deity in Hindu mythology. This variety of images makes the place special for worshippers who honor different facets of the god.

The temple is managed by the Indian Armed Forces, which sets it apart from other regional temples. This unusual military connection gives the place a rare identity.
