Nice experience. Beautiful place. The famous Sree Vadakunnathan temple was surrounded by Thekkinkadu Maithanam full of greenery. This ancient temple was dedicated to Lord Shiva built by Lord Parasurama. The architectural style of the temple was marvelous. Different festivals like Mahashivratri, Navarathri etc were celebrated.

Incredible quiet inside the premises . In the middle of a busy city centre traffic round of Trissur .One of the best temples I have ever seen . Men have to take their shirts off in obeisance before stepping inside the temple. There is particular pattern to follow that is peculiar to this sacred place and it would be nice to understand that before your darshan.

Huge ground with lot of open car parking. It's located next to famous Vadakkunnathan Temple. Area is clean and peaceful.

This review is less about this Temple and more about an experience of the place. It is a beautiful place to be for people looking for visiting Lord Vadakkumnathan. Oh my god, what a wonderful place... You should definitely go there..all travelling facilities are available here, so no worry.. Overall, it is a very neat and clean place, very calm atmosphere.. you should definitely visit here ... thank you 🥰

The Pride of Thrissur. The place offers you divine experience. One of the must visit temple of Kerala.

Basically called as Thekkinkadu Maidanam, in front of the famous vadakunnathan temple is a place of calm and attractiveness. This place is ancient and famous. The famous Thrissur Pooram sets off here. Railway station as well as KSRTC and private bus stands are not so far. If you are in Thrissur, this is one place that you should check out and won't be disappointed by any means. Early morning and evening is the best time to be here. And you gonna leave by falling in love with this place!

Beautiful temple and specially I like the peaceful environment inside the temple. You can do meditation during morning time. You can come here during pooram festival, if you want to watch the celebration.

Pooram was wonderful n amazing. Only issue is the misgovernance. Behavior from police is too rude, Culture less. Only they are acting to make space for their family and politicians inorder to enjoy pooram and related festival.

Thekkinkadu Maidan is situated in the middle of Thrissur city of Kerala state in India. This 65-acre (260,000 m2) hillock which seats the Vadakkumnathan Temple, is oval shaped open ground in the centre of the Thrissur city which is under the custody of the Cochin Devaswom Board (CDB). It hosts the spectacular cultural festival Thrissur Pooram, which is considered the 'Mother of all Poorams in Kerala.' Maharaja of Cochin, Rama Varma Sakthan Thampuran constructed the Thekkinkadu Maidan at the heart of Thrissur City after clearing the forest around the Vadakkumnatha Temple despite the resistance of Brahmin priests and other orthodox section of people.The whole of the city branches from Thekkinkadu Maidan through nine roads,including most of the important roads like the M.G road and the M.O road. These roads further form junctions to make the spread of the city a circular one. Encircling the Thekkinkadu Maidan, Swaraj Round surrounds the small hillock on which the Vadakkunnathan Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is built. The hillock also includes a children's park,forming a major hangout place for the city's youth.

It's really awesome. My 1st visit . It's shiv parwati temple.other then that there are many other goddesses inside the compound. It's a very large temple. Good ambiance. Women can wear Indian dresses, men dothi, shirt to be remove while entering the temple. Below 1 yr old babies are not allowed.

I recently had the opportunity to visit this temple and it's grounds, it's a nice place to relax, especially for people who are traveling. The temple's architecture and lush green surroundings create a beautiful atmosphere that's suitable for relaxation and reflection. While it may not have all the amenities of modern parks, it's an okay destination for those interested in history and culture. The blend of nature and tradition makes it a decent place to spend some time.

I went there at 2 am ....don't have words to express the feel...a nice place even at that odd time...there where people sitting there with their loved ones...calm and quite atmosphere with fresh air at that night time..I dont prefer it on a sunny day..

Divine place to visit. Temple with Peacefulness and divine overloaded!!!!!!! It is a very big shiva temple with full of greenery and scenery. This is a must to visit place in thrissur punkunnam!!!

Awesome place right at the heart of Thrissur. Too many people and a lot of trash. They have regular police patrolling. Be mindful that this is a place of workship so be respectful.

Very good place... Had a flower exhibition here... Beautiful plants and flowers. Soo much to see. Would recommend coming here

Superb sculpture and surreal experience. One of a kind place. Cable car works smoothly. Well maintained place having plastic ban. A lot yet to be done. Should include museum, sound and light show and some interactive experience. Storyline of Ramayana could be displayed

Calm,breezy atmosphere with a lot trees and plants that makes it an awesome evening spot for all age groups..there will be no other better spots to take a good healthy stroll..There is even a closed spot just near to the temple entrance where about 5- 6 elephants can be seen..

This is where the vadakumnathan temple is situated in the heart of the city.It witnesses the spectacular cultural festival Thrissur pooram.The inside premises of the temple architecture shows keral style temple architecture.Beautiful architecture at its best.Must visit place in Kerala.

Oldest temple and It's sacred place in Kerala

It's a good place space spent time. If you visit morning you should leave before 11.30 unless you want to pay 50₹ at gate. After 4.30 its free. That was weired.

It's a ground around sree vadakkum nadha temple . Usually this place called as round in thrissur. It's full greeny place in the center of thrissur city . Too many trees are there we can sit in their shadows . Tok many peoples are coming here for exercise, parking the vehicle or for leisure time .

Nice open grounds for a casual walk, gives you a little reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets of Trichur. And if you have the spiritual calling visit the Ancient Vadakkunathan temple. Lord Shiva temple with the original architecture of the Era it was built in. The temple complex is full of different species of trees ,which have mentions in Indian vedic scriptures.

A very beautiful and well maintained ground related to Vadakkunnathan Temple, the field has well maintenance walk paths, very old trees, and calm breeze, a nice place place to visit and spend time with family, the temple building is a beautiful landmark, a must visit place in Thrissur

Huge temple with very good spiritual ambience. Can get crowded on weekends. Parking facility available. If you want to go to shops in Thrissur round it is better to park the vehicle here and go by walk

A spectacular temple. An ancient and absolutely super maintained religious place of worship.with lots of history attached to it. Extremely cleanly maintained and beautiful architecture. A must visit!

Simply wow. No better way to describe this place Such a calm and quite place with all its ritualistic and traditional touches to its temple architecture. If you haven't visited this temple once .. you should definitely go and visit this beautiful place filled with a lot of positive vibes

We waited up to 10 minutes because the temple wasn't open. It took us 10 minutes for Darshan because the temple is spread vastly. You get a proper Kerala feel like the GOD’s OWN COUNTRY KERALA. Green, devotional, soothing

To experience our culture and rituals, you should attend this Pooram at least once in your life. The Pooram highlights are the Kudamattom ceremony and Ilanjithara melam. Kudamattom features an entertaining lineup of vibrantly decorated elephants and its one of the closely observed event because it involves the quick and rhythmic switching of colorful and sequined parasols. Another highlight is the Ilanjithara melam, a stunning performance with the Chenda that takes the crowd into a state of rapture and bliss. The spirit is matched by the thousands of spectators who wave their hands in time with the rhythm created by the Chenda. Since all the neighboring hotels will be booked well in advance of the festival, you can find some dorms and temporary accommodation during that time.(Even if OYO advertises rooms availability, rooms might not be available at the hotel). There are many temporary food stalls in the city during festival, but to ensure hygiene, I advise you to get your food from the restaurant itself. While sitting beneath the Aal Maram inside the temple, you may feel calm and mindful despite all these noises and crowds, for me personally, that was one of the most amazing feelings.

Loved the ambience of the temple. The temple is a very unique and peaceful. We attended the evening Pooja which takes you to a different spiritual level We went during trissur puram and it was really crowded and the decoration was really very beautiful ❤️

I went there to just wander around (first time). The temple is amazing. Since I reached there around noon, I was not able to go inside the temple (went to Thrissur for another reason). The park around it is nice to walk around or to just sit and relax. You can also see some elephants.

Spiritual feeling...

(Translated by Google) Thekkilkadu Maidan is the property of the people of Thrissur, I can say Kozhikode though. This ground is not the only place where the Thrissur Pooram is held once a year. One evening is enough and there is nothing else to go on. (Original) തേക്കിൽകാട് മൈതാനം അത് ത്രിശ്ശൂർക്കാരെ സ്വത്താ, ഞാൻ കോഴിക്കോടാ എന്നാലും പറയാം. വർഷത്തിൻ ഒരിക്കൽ ത്രിശ്ശൂർ പൂരം നടത്തുന്ന സ്ഥലം മാത്രല്ലട്ടോ ഈ മൈതാനം എന്നും ഇവിടെ പൂരാ. വൈകുന്നേരം ഒന്ന് വന്നാ മതി സമയം പോവാൻ വേറെ ഒന്നും വേണ്ട.

The maidan is the heart of thrissur. There's no thrissur without thekkinkadu maidan. It's a place where people of thrissur come to find peace. From rich business magnates who come in their fancy luxury cars to the poorest of poor and the discarded cows and oxes, everyone finds peace in this place. It's not crowded. People come here for many reasons, be it simply to relax, or to seek the blessings of vadakkumnathan, or the newly Weds for their wedding photo shoot, or the various lottery wallahs and other street vendors to sell their merchandise, or the elephant Lovers who come to see their favourite elephants, the reasons are many. Thekkinkadu maidan is the first place to see for anybody visiting thrissur. It's heartening that the place is protected from being encroached by the people of thrissur.

Great place to spend free time. Lots of free space for taking walks. The place was pretty much unoccupied when I visited.

This is the iconic place in the Thrissur city. Infact this is heart of the city and basically considered as centre point connecting all places around the city. Here is the famous Vadakkumnathan Shiva temple located.

Want to go for walk?the best place to walk sit and play. A place in the heart of the with full of trees and a heaven in earth

One of the best thing about Thrissur is this. I believe or wish to believe that no person from Thrissur should have missed visiting this unique place. After all this is where the world famous Thrissur Pooram happens. I was lucky to take pics the other day with both my motorbike as well as my MTB bike in the calm surrounding. I could see many people taking their regular walks, jogging and Photo sessions here which make us forget the worries of Covid. This place definitely has a peaceful atmosphere. So yes it's a must visit place for all
