Pazhavangadi Ganapathy Temple

Pazhavangadi Sree Maha Ganapathy Temple stands at East Fort in central Thiruvananthapuram, very close to the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and the old Travancore heritage precinct. The temple’s official website identifies Sri Mahaganapathy as the principal deity and notes that the best-known offering is the breaking of coconuts, a ritual that gives the shrine a distinctive place in the devotional life of the city. The temple also contains representations of multiple forms of Ganesha and observes important festivals including Vinayaka Chathurthi.

Its location makes it easy to combine with East Fort, Chalai Bazaar, Kuthiramalika and other central attractions. The official temple address confirms Pazhavangadi, Thiruvananthapuram 695023. Visitors should be prepared for busy worship periods, respect queue systems and follow any restrictions on dress, footwear and photography.
