By Amit Mehta The road from Kazhakuttam southward through Pothencode carries the quiet, forested character of southern Thiruvananthapuram’s periurban zone — rubber-estate land, small churches, a university campus, and the beginning of the Western Ghats’ gradual ascent eastward. Just off National Highway 47 at Ariyottukonam, Pothencode — a mere 20 minutes from Kazhakuttam, the commercial hub anchored by Technopark — Rajasree Convention Centre occupies the specific geographic advantage of being near the city, yet away from the rush.
The convention centre address is Ariyottukonam, Pothencode, Thiruvananthapuram — Kerala 695584. Phone: 0471-2717770, 2717771. Also registered at Pothencode-Pallippuram Road, Ariyottukonam, and listed on Justdial as near Ariyottkonam Temple. Justdial rating: 4.3 from 880 reviews.
Three halls of different scales serve the full event spectrum. The Main Hall is fully air-conditioned with a capacity of 2,000. The Reception Hall is air-conditioned with capacity of 1,000. The Mini Hall is air-conditioned with capacity of 500. The fully air-conditioned dining area caters to 1,000 persons at a time. Car parking for 800 cars inside the premises — one of the most generous parking provisions of any Thiruvananthapuram district convention centre, eliminating the parking anxiety that plagues most urban venues. Four deluxe suite rooms and a Prayer Hall are available for guests. A state-of-the-art kitchen equipped for large-scale event catering is on-site. The technology infrastructure is specifically cited as futuristic: LED Display Screens, hi-tech audio-visual equipment, Wi-Fi throughout, and HD Live Streaming support for hybrid and broadcast-quality events.
The venue is marketed as an ideal venue to host stage shows, seminars, conventions, and so on, with event management and catering service available. A magnificent combination of finest elements of technology, beauty of nature, elegance and convenience meets up in Rajasree Convention Centre — a description that captures its specific positioning between Thiruvananthapuram’s urban infrastructure and the green, quiet landscape of Pothencode’s forested midland.
