Local
Attractions:

The town has an 18th century temple and is the host to the Deepam festival, which is celebrated every

Anchu Vilakku
It was in 980 AD, that the famed Diwan of Travancore Veluthampy Dalava made a market place at Changanacherry, realizing the possibilities of development of this place. Towards the memory of the centennial celebrations of the place in 1905, the people installed the " Anchu Vilakku" (Five Lamps) seen near the Boat Jetty. The lamp signifies the 'unity in diversity' of the local ethnic and religious sects - a truly fitting tribute to the ethos of
Changanacherry. |
|
Tomb of Ettuveetil Pillamar
In the history of Changanachery, there is high regard for the local chieftains called Ettuveetil
Pillamar. It is said that the King Marthanda Varma had put the eight chief tains to death and that the curse of these people were on the king . Whatever the truth behind this legend, the Kings of Tranvancore were rather supertitious and are said to have avoided
Changanachery. The tomb of these heroes can be seen here.

The
Metropolitan church
In 1885, under the
leadership of Maliekkal
Muthachan, the
Metropolitan church was
established. The major
celebration of the church
is the festival of St.
Sebastian (January) and of
St. Mary (September). This
Metropolitan Catholic
church is the oldest
Christian church in the
diocese . |
|
Anandasheam
Guru Mandiram
Another notable place in
Changanachery is the "Anandasheam
Guru Mandiram" founded by Mahatma Gandhi. The
two visits of Sree Narayana Guru
have added much to the
significance of this Mandhiram.
The things that were used by
Sree Narayana Guru at that time
have been kept as sacred relics
to this day.
