By Amit Mehta The Konathukunnu-Maniyamkavu Road that runs through Thekkumkara in Thrissur district carries the quiet character of Kerala’s midland agricultural zone — the rubber and coconut palms of the Vellangallur panchayat framing a corridor that connects the Thrissur-Irinjalakuda highway belt to the smaller townships of the Mukundapuram taluk interior. MD Convention Centre, established in June 2018 as a registered Small Enterprise under the Ministry of MSME, sits on this road at 6/452D, Konathukunnu-Maniyamkavu Road, Thekkumkara, Vellangallur, Konathukunnu — Thrissur, Kerala 680123. The venue carries a platform rating of 4.5, reflecting the consistent satisfaction of the Thrissur-Irinjalakuda community it serves.
The convention centre accommodates 600 guests in seated arrangement with a floating capacity of 900 — sized for a community event market where the average wedding draws 400 to 700 guests. The total booking amount is ₹1,20,000 per day. Parking is substantial for a venue of this scale: 200 cars and 500 bikes — a ratio that ensures even large events with distant outstation guests can park without bottlenecking the road approach. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food options are served, and the venue’s catering setup handles traditional Kerala banquet formats as well as modern multi-cuisine arrangements. Valet parking is not listed as available. The venue is a conventional hall-and-compound property — directly accessible from the Konathukunnu-Maniyamkavu Road without requiring navigation through residential interior streets.
The surrounding Vellangallur-Thekkumkara zone is a densely populated panchayat between Irinjalakuda town and the Mukundapuram taluk, drawing wedding bookings from across the Thrissur-Ernakulam border communities.
