It is one of the most revered and ancient temples in the state and holds immense religious and historical significance. It is widely considered as the world's richest Hindu temple. | |
| The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, specifically in his Anantha Shayana (reclining on the serpent Ananta) form. The name "Padmanabhaswamy" is a combination of three words: "Padma" means lotus, "nabha" means navel, and "swamy" means deity or god. Lord Vishnu is depicted here in a reclining posture on the sacred serpent Ananta, with a lotus emerging from his navel. The temple's architecture showcases typical Kerala-style temple architecture, characterized by intricate carvings and detailed craftsmanship. One of the unique aspects of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple is its immense wealth. The temple's underground vaults, known as the "Kallara," have been the subject of much fascination and intrigue. In 2011, during an inventory process, six vaults were opened, revealing an astounding collection of ancient treasures, including gold, silver, precious stones, and various valuable artifacts. The total value of these treasures was estimated to be several billion dollars, making it one of the richest temples in the world. | |
