Thrikkovil Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple (Malayalam: തൃക്കോവില് ശ്രീ പദ്മനാഭ സ്വാമി ക്ഷേത്രം) is a Hindu temple with Lord Vishnu as the presiding deity, located at Vallicode[1] village in Pathanamthitta District[2] in Kerala,[3] India.[4]
The temple is maintained by the Travancore Devaswom Board. As per local folklore, it is considered as the second one of its kind after the famous Padmanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram. More spectacularly the 10-day festival includes Rupmani Swayambaram.
In going with the simplicity and elegant architecture of temples in Kerala, the temple premises here present a very serene and spiritual outlook. There is a temple pond adjoining the temple which abounds with blooming lotuses.
