He is considered the architect and founder of modern Thrissur city. He established the city as his capital, redesigned it around the Vadakkumnathan temple and inaugurated the famous Thrissur Pooram festival. The real name of Thrissur is Trishivaperur or Thirushivaperur, which means the town in the name of Lord Shiva. It was traditionally known as Vrishabhajipuram or Ten Kailasam, Kailas of the South.

It is celebrated as the cultural capital of Kerala. Thrissur is very easily accessible by all major modes of transport. As a major city in Kerala, it is well connected by rest of India by air travel, extensive rail network and a robust road system.

Thrissur is located in the central part of Kerala, with lot of tourist and pilgrimage locations in and around its famous Guruvayur temple and Athirapalli waterfalls, and most of the tourist destinations in Kerala can be accessed from Thrissur.
