 Thrissur
or Thrissivaperoor is the ‘cultural capital of Kerala’'.
The city is a major financial and commercial hub. It is famous for the Thrissur
Pooram festival and has a large number of well-known temples.
Thrissur has traditionally been a centre of learning. With the decline of

revival of Hinduism, Thrissur became an important centre of Sanskrit learning.
