Why to visit Shanghumukham Beach
The seashore in Shanghumugham is known as the 'Arattukadavam of Sri Ananthapadmanabhan, the city's presiding deity. During significant occasions, tens of thousands of Hindus do the 'Bali Tharpanam.' A huge expanse of white sand and a tranquil ambience away from the city's crowds provide all the ingredients for relaxation and an excellent evening.
An added attraction is Kanayi Kunhiraman's sculpture Sagarakanyaka - Mermaid. This massive statue is more than 35 metres in length. Here is the 'Jawaharlal Nehru Park of Traffic Signs for Youngsters,' which helps children comprehend traffic rules while they are playing in the park.
Images of Lord Padmanabhaswamy, Lord Narasimha, and Lord Krishna are carried in procession to the Laccadive Sea at Shanghumugham beach on Arattu day in Thiruvananthapuram
