The Marari Beach Resort - Alappuzha

[RichiJojo]

Being the state capital, Thiruvananthapuram throbs with political activity. This, fortunately, is not at the cost of the city's long tradition of being a generous host to culture and the arts. Which is why tourists are advised not to miss the Government Art Museum, formerly called the Napier Museum, the Sri Chitra Art Gallery, and the CVN Kalari (a centre for traditional martial arts) among other cultural institutions, universities, and libraries located in Thiruvananthapuram. Located in a beautifully landscaped 80-acre plot, the Government Art Museum forms part of a park-like complex which also houses the Sri Chitra Art Gallery and the Zoological Park at the heart of the city. The building is an architectural delight, combining styles of traditional Kerala architecture with Chinese and Mughal touches. Its 19th c. British architect, Chisholm, is said to have stirred in a touch of Brighton as well! The intriguing blend of colors - pink and blue, banana yellow and cherry red - merge with red and white lattice work and mock friezes to create a unique spectacle, best viewed on weekends when the entire building is the focus of several spotlights. Inside the museum are several period collections of bronze statues, treasures, costumes, masks, ancient jewellery, musical instruments and models, including one of the Nair joint family residences, the `Tharavad'.

The Marari Beach Resort Kerala (http://www.abeachsymphony.com/) comes under the category of 5 Star hotels.

Thiruvananthapuram throbs with political activity - is it safe to come? I usually think that with unstable political country, people should not come even how nice it is ;)
