The Padmanabhaswamy Temple (Malayalam: [pɐd̪mɐnaːbʰɐswaːmi]) is a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams, sacred sites of the Sri Vaishnava tradition.
The temple's principal deity is Anantha Padmanabhaswamy, a form of Vishnu depicted in yogic sleep, on his serpent mount named Shesha. Padmanabhaswamy is the tutelary deity of the Travancore royal family. The titular Maharaja of Travancore, Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma, is the current trustee of the temple.
