From the Preface: "The monograph Temples of Kerala which was published earlier covered the general aspects on temples in Kerala like history of temples over the last two thousand years, mode of worship, architectural features, carvings and paintings, iconography of idols, deva-prasnam, (Astrological prediction relating to temples) rites, priesthood, offerings, temple customs, administration, ritualistic and performing arts etc. This volume, the seventh in the series of district monographs, is an addendum to the monograph Temples of Kerala and it attempts to cover an account of the temples of Trssoor district. The background of taking up this exhaustive study needs little elaboration. The Census Organization of India undertook a study on Temples of Madras State as an ancillary study of the 1961 census. This study evoked keen interest among scholars, the government and statutory bodies of Kerala. Late Sree R. Vasudeva Poduval a renowned archaeologist, requested the Registrar General, India (Late Sree A. Chandrasekhar) as early as 1969 to launch a study on temples of Kerala similar to the one that was conducted in Madras state and the latter readily agreed to this suggestion. But the study could not be taken up due to heavy pressure of work in connection with the 1971 census. In 1973, the Travancore Devaswam Board also came up with a similar request but the backlog of census work of 1971 census stood in the way in launching the study. In 1979 the Advisor to the Government of Kerala on Temples and Traditional Arts again requested the Director of Census Operations to commence the study. But again some unforeseen circumstances prevented the organization from taking up the study. However, in May 1990, the Government of Kerala again requested the Census Directorate to take up a detailed survey on temples of Kerala and The Registrar General (Sree A.R. Nanda I.A.S) directed to commence the survey in June 1991." From the Foreword: "Temples built in different historical time reflect the spirit and idioms of the people and their way of life as existed then. The splendor of architectural designs of temples are embodiments of the aesthetic taste of the people and society. The cultural heritage reflected in temple designs in different parts of India has evoked interest and has attracted touri.

Hardcover. Condition: New. From the Preface: The present monograph, Temples of Tiruvanantapuram District, has also three sections, of which Section 1 gives a general background on geographical-setting of the district based on physio-geographic regions, history, people and analysis of data collected during the field work. Section 2 deals with salient features of 127 important temples of the district, which include all those temples having swayambhoo (self-revealed) idols as principal deity and other important temples based on antiquity, number of prakaras, architectural excellence, number of poojas and number of worshippers. This does not mean that other temples are insignificant but the selection was done based on above mentioned parameters. Section 3 - Temple directory provides data of all temples open to public, big or small, as existed at the close of the twentieth century. Therefore, subsequent changes on structures, idols etc. have not been incorporated in this monograph except in few cases where revisits were done while writing the monograph. However, it is significant to mention the limitations of the data. Generally the informants of temples, mainly temple authorities and local devotees, were very co-operative with the field-staff in giving data. With the whole-hearted co-operation of all, the author could finalize the monograph of the district.
