By Akash Sharma Thiruvalla is one of the most commercially and socially active towns in Pathanamthitta district — a municipal town known as the hub of the South Indian Christian diaspora, its economy shaped by Gulf remittances, church institutions, schools, and hospitals that serve a well-travelled, cosmopolitan population. When this population celebrates — and it celebrates ambitiously — it needs venues that can accommodate the scale its social standing demands. Vijaya International Convention Centre, at Perumthuruthy P.O, Ezhinjillam, Thiruvalla — Pathanamthitta District, Kerala 689107, is the answer the town has found to that need.
The venue’s promotional positioning is direct: Thiruvallaites had always dreamed of a world-class event venue, and VICC delivered. The column-free main hall seats 2,500 with a total capacity of 3,000 guests — numbers that place it among the largest single-facility convention halls in central Kerala south of Kochi. The interior carries royal finishes: grand high ceiling, marble-like flooring, spectacular lighting, and soundproof design with digital sound systems and built-in projectors. Spacious, air-conditioned pre-function lobbies at the entrance create a designated greeting zone for arriving guests — a design refinement that reduces the bottleneck at hall entrances during large weddings. A conference area accommodates up to 30 participants for smaller corporate meetings.
Six air-conditioned accommodation rooms are available with locker facilities. Parking accommodates 43 cars with valet parking available. Outside decorators are permitted; outside food and alcohol are not. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food options are offered by the in-house catering team. The surrounding landscape — lush greenery close to the Kuttanad backwater zone — creates the serene ambiance that reviews consistently mention. A bridal room is available.
