And may I add, please remember to visit ANANTHANKAADU, the original site of the 
Sree padmanabhaswamy temple. While doing pradakshinam, one can choose to go out 
thru the Vadakke nadai (North entrance) and walk a minute to the Ananthankadu 
temple. This is dedicated to Nagaraja and is supposed to be the holy site where 
the Lord was first sighted. Ananthankadu is a powerful temple in itself and 
many childless couples worship there to be blessed with children. Also famous 
in curing skin diseases.
   
  Also, if you look at the stone floor of Sree Padmanabha swamy temple, you 
will see 'eeyam' (molten lead??), has been poured between some of the grouts. 
Belief is that a milky white fluid oozes out of the grouts, and the molten lead 
is to keep it in. This just strengthens our belief that Sree Padmanabha swamy 
temple is indeed situated over Paalkkadal.
  
So goes the mind of a Trivandrumite who thinks of Ananthapadmanabhan every 
moment.

  ///1. Tiruvanantapuram  --it is easy visit from trivandrum city
as it is within the city

the best time to visit is 6.30 am to 7 am in the morning. then 
the temple is open to public only after 9 am///

Adiyen had visited this place some time earlier. One excellent
time is after sunset - then, there is no artificial light, and
the Sannidhi is lit only with oil/ghee lamps. Since the pillars
are gold-plated, the entire Sannidhi gets a golden hue, and
Anantha Padmanabha Swami's brilliance is amazingly highlighted.

Also, please visit the sannidhi of Yoga Narasimha, which is just
before the entrance to Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Sannidhi.
Krishna's shrine is also very beautiful. Unfortunately, there is
no seperate Thayar Sannidhi in this temple.

Malola Dasan,

Balaji
