Apart from the cultural significance it holds, Thrissur is also a prime retail hub for Kerala and is also the Gold Capital of India, hosting some of the largest jewellery and textile lines in the region. Being an active participant in the commercial front of the State, its industries extensively include cotton weaving, rice and oilseed milling, soap manufacturing, and sawmills.
The area surrounding Thrissur lies largely on the coastal plain, except for its southeast regions, which overlap the hills of the Western Ghats. Agriculture is also an essential occupation, with rice and coconut being the cardinal breeds. Blanketed by ethereal waterfalls and lush green fields, Thrissur is indeed a tourist’s paradise that offers a bouquet of cultural adventures.
