Thrissur, the cultural capital of Kerala, is a city steeped in history and tradition. Its significance lies not only in its rich cultural heritage, vibrant festivals, and historical landmarks but also in its growing commercial and business activity. The city is a hub for various industries, including textiles, coir, and spices. It also has a thriving trade in gold and jewellery.

The city’s cultural festivals, such as the Thrissur Pooram, also attract a significant number of tourists, boosting the local economy. This blend of cultural vibrancy, historical legacy, and commercial activity makes Thrissur a unique and dynamic city.
