Chala, Thiruvananthapuram

The idea was to make Chalai bazar the central point for the supply of commodities to the Travancore kingdom.

[2] Chala market is located opposite of te East fort central bus stand where all the city buses terminate.

This juma masjid was built in the first quarter of the 20th Century and is considered to be one of the oldest mosques in the district.

Another notable shop was Swamy and Brothers of Chala, once the go-to-place for all manner of threads and embroidery paraphernalia and dress materials.

Chala market is the one place to visit during Onam Festival because it is here that one gets all kinds of flowers needed for the celebration.
