PAPPANAMCODE is just five kilometers from Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station.
PARVANA K B

Today, it is recognised as an important industrial hub and a critical transit point for buses heading to Neyyattinkara, Kaliyikkavila, and Kanyakumari. And it's a name that carries various stories behind it.

What makes the name 'Pappanamcode' intriguing is its multiplicity. Within the Thiruvananthapuram district itself, three places share this name. In addition to the Pappanamcode within the city corporation limits, there are counterparts in Aruvikkara Panchayat and Palode. What ties these places together is their geography—each is marked by flat, open land, a clue that historians and linguists have noticed in their quest to understand the origin of this name.
