By Akash Sharma Nedumangad in southern Thiruvananthapuram district occupies a specific position in the capital city’s geography — it is a taluk headquarters town approximately 20 kilometres southeast of Thiruvananthapuram city center, surrounded by the forested and agricultural zones of the Western Ghats foothills. The town has a significant administrative and institutional presence, its own commercial life, and a community that generates a consistent calendar of weddings, government functions, and social events. Raj Convention Centre in Nedumangad and Chullimannoor serves this community from an air-conditioned hall on the Nedumangad approach, on WeddingBazaar since 2021.
The Raj Convention Centre is located at Chullimannoor, Nedumangad — Thiruvananthapuram District, Kerala. The Justdial rating of 3.8 from 1,018 reviews reflects a venue with an established presence in the local market. The hall seats 1,500 guests with a floating capacity of 2,250. Dining capacity is 750. Parking accommodates 100 cars and 250 bikes. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food are served; outside catering is permitted subject to approval. Outside decorators are allowed. Generator backup is standard. AC rooms with locker facilities are available for guest accommodation.
The venue is described across review platforms as an event venue offering spacious halls and state-of-the-art facilities for gatherings and conferences. The location in Chullimannoor places it between Nedumangad’s town center and the approaching residential zones, giving it good road access from the Thiruvananthapuram-Nedumangad state highway. The broader Nedumangad population — drawing from the surrounding villages of Aralumoodu, Aruvikkara, Balaramapuram, and the dozen panchayats of the taluk — generates consistent wedding and social event demand.
