About Vaikom, Your Drop Point
Vaikom is a town in Kottayam district, Kerala, about 50 km south of Kochi on the backwaters route toward Alleppey. It is home to the Vaikom Mahadeva Temple, one of Kerala's most important and ancient Shiva shrines, traditionally counted among the state's holiest Siva kshetras alongside Ettumanur and Kaduthuruthy. The town gained national significance during the 1924-25 Vaikom Satyagraha, a landmark temple-entry movement that challenged caste-based restrictions on temple roads and helped shape later social reform across Kerala. Vaikom's economy centres on the temple's pilgrim trade, with allied trading, lodging, and backwater tourism connected to the nearby Vembanad lake system. The temple's flagstaff festival and the annual Vaikathashtami draw large crowds from across the state each year.
