TRIPUNITURA IS A PROMINENT HISTORICAL AND RESIDENTIAL REGION IN THE DISTRICT OF ERNAKULAM IN KERALA. LO-
CATED ABOUT 9 KM FROM THE CITY CENTRE, TRIPUNITHURA WAS THE CAPITAL OF THE ERSTWHILE KINGDOM OF COCHIN.
THE DESCENDANTS OF THE COCHIN ROYAL FAMILY STILL LIVE HERE. THE HILL PALACE SITUATED IN TRIPUNITHURA WAS THE
PALACE OF MAHARAJA OF COCHIN, THE RULER OF KINGDOM OF COCHIN. TRIPUNITHURA IS ALSO WELL KNOWN FOR ITS
HISTORICAL CULTURES AND WORLDWIDE FAMOUS BECAUSE OF SREE POORNATHRAYEESA TEMPLE AND THE ANNUAL FES-
TIVAL VRISHCHIKOLTSAWAM THAT TAKES PLACE AT THE TEMPLE.

IN LOCAL ADMINISTRATION, IT IS A MUNICIPALITY NAMED TRIPUNITHURA MUNICIPALITY. IN THE STATE ADMINISTRATIVE

STRUCTURE, TRIPUNITHURA IS PART OF THE ERNAKULAM DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF KERALA.

UNDOUBTEDLY THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL CAPITAL OF THE STATE OF KERALA THE CITY OF KOCHIN IS WHERE
ANCIENT CIVILIZATION GRACEFULLY MINGLES WITH MODERN LIFE QUESTION HAD CULTURAL AND TRADE RELATION WITH
THE OUTSIDE WORLD THIS LAND IS RICH IN ITS CULTURAL HERITAGE NATURAL HERITAGE AND HIGH SOCIAL INDEX. THESE
STRENGTHS INVITED AREAS ARE THE THE ENGINES THAT PROPEL THIS CITY INTO A REAL GROWTH CENTRE.

THIS TOWN, ELEGANTLY HISTORIC, IS FAST TURNING TO BUT DARINGLY MODERN. BEARING A HUGE BURNT OF THE BUR-
GEONING KOCHI POPULATION, TRIPUNITHARA HAS BEEN PULLING DOWN ANCIENT STRUCTURE TO KEEP PACE WITH THE
CONSTANT DEMAND OF SPACE. LACK OF PROPER CONSERVATION PLANS HAVE RESULTED IN THE TOWN CHANGING, THEIR
HISTORIC CHARACTER SURVIVING ONLY IN FRAGMENTS, IN ISOLATED, INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS.
