Vadakkechira - Tourist attraction in Thrissur - Thrissur, India

Good place for share free time. Nice pond. Pathways are around the pond . Boat journey is also available here. When the lights are illuminated at night are more beautiful. Inside the pond water foundations #vadakkechira

It has been tastefully remodelled. It's best to go in the evening when the lights and fountain are turned on. Peddle boating is now available for both two and four ppl. There is a snack kiosk inside. With ample seating, this is a great place to spend time with family and friends.

This is a temple pond attatched with the sakthan thampuran museum or palace. It was totally destroyed by the careless approach of devaswam board and government towards vadakechira. And now kalyan group donated their csr fund and developed/ maintained this place so good. Government has no role in the current view of vadakechira. Boating is privided there at minimal cost. Its a quiet place to sit and relax in the evening time.

Proud of Thrissur. Near north bus stand. Recently renewed the place. Nice place for time spending. Cool place in the town. Close to sakthan thampuran palace. Have parking spaces nearby. The evening has nice colourful lighting. We can enjoy ourselves with a pedal boat. The best time for the visitors is in the evening. #thrissur #outing #relax

Vadakkechira (Malayalam: vttkkecirr) is one of the four oldest ponds in Thrissur city of Kerala in India. It was built by Shakthan Thampuran (1751-1805) and is one of Thrissur's famous landmarks. It is owned by Cochin Devaswom Board. Sakthan Thampuran, Maharaja of Cochin, built four ponds in Thrissur city for water management and irrigation purpose in his regime. They are Vadakkechira, Padinjarechira, Thekkechira and Kizakechira. Members of the Cochin Royal Family and priests of the Ashokeswaram Temple used to have bath at the ghats on the northern side of the pond, and the public at those on other sides. Elephants used to be bathed at ghats on the eastern side. The Kulapparas and ghats for elephants are reminiscent of 18th and 19th century architecture. A walkway is on the southern side of the pond. The re-designed pond has sculptural seats, gateways Padippuras, pools, fountains, a gallery and a rock garden. Best place to spend some time in the evening.
