At Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple one can view the fine blend of Kerala and Dravidian architecture styles. There are many performing art events conducted in the city, which includes Kathakali, Kutiyattam and Mohiniyattam. These enchanting art forms have had their origins in Kerala.
The monsoon season is also a time to rejuvenate the mind and the body. Kerala is the land of Ayurveda, which stands for the wholesome physical, mental, and spiritual growth of humanity. The placid climate, the availability of natural herbs and medicinal plants, and Ayurveda being the specialty of the state has made Kerala the prime destination for Ayurvedic treatment.
Monsoon season is dustfree and moist. The body pores open up during this season, eventually being more receptive to the various herbal oils used in Ayurvedic treatment. International tourists as well as local people go in for Ayurvedic treatment during this season.
The state government too
has taken an active part in promoting Ayurvedic tourism across the world. Monsoon campaigns are carried out to woo visitors to the state during this rainy season. Not just to treat illnesses, Ayurveda can also be a health supplement at this time. Right from the drizzling to the pouring rain to postmonsoon, Kerala provides everyone experiences, which are unparallel. The freshness of earth, the pure air, the gurgling streams, the relaxing sound of rain, all offers an everlasting memory to the visitors to Kerala and Thiruvananthapuram. www. metromartdaily. com July 2013 11
