'''Kadavanthra''' is a downtown [[:Category:Regions of Kochi|region]] and a major commercial centre in [[Kochi|Kochi City]], close to the city's biggest railway station 'Ernakulam Junction' and Kochi's commercial high street the M.G.Road, in the Indian [[Kerala|state of Kerala]].

== Surroundings ==
Kadavanthra Junction is a major [[Intersection (road)|intersection]] in Kochi, one of the busiest in the city. The junction facilitates Kadavanthra Metro Station, catering to passengers for [[Panampilly Nagar]]/Kadavanthra area.

The junction is an intersection of Kochi City's main arterial [[S.A Road|Sahodaran Ayyappan Road]] (east-west) with arterial [[Kaloor-Kadavanthra Road]] (north-south) and ''[[K. P. Vallon|K.P.Vallon]] Road'' (north-south). This junction enhances rail connectivity from M.G Road to Vytilla Mobility Hub.

Kadavanthra is part of Kochi's [[central business district]]. It is notable as home for the headquarters of the [[Greater Cochin Development Authority]], the statutory body overseeing the development of the [[Kochi|city of Kochi]]. NIA ([[National Investigation Agency]]) is also located in Kadavanthra. The Kochi Metro Kadavanthra station is situated in front of GCDA lawns. Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV), Soften Technologies, Bhavans Vidya Mandir and St Josephs Upper Primary School are located in this area.

The region is an emerging commercial high street with branded retail stores and many 3- and 5-star hotels such as Olive Downtown, [[Radisson Blu]] Kochi, Avenue Centre Hotel, Star Paradise, Park Residency hotel and Cochin Palace hotel. Affluent housing colonies include [[Panampilly Nagar]], Giri Nagar, [[Gandhi Nagar, Kochi|Gandhi Nagar]] and Jawahar Nagar. [[Central Bank of India]], [[HDFC Bank]], [[South Indian Bank]], [[State Bank of India]] and [[Axis Bank]] branches are present.

It is close to the [[Ernakulam Junction|South Railway Station]], with easy access to [[Kaloor]], [[Vyttila]] and [[Cochin International Airport]]. [[Kaloor-Kadavanthra Road]] links northern and southern parts of Kochi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.india9.com/i9show/Kadavanthra-56121.htm |title=Kadavanthra in Kochi India |publisher=India9.com |date=2005-06-22 |access-date=2014-03-12}}</ref> Kadavanthra became a major hub following the completion of [[Kaloor-Kadavanthra Road]]. The presence of the [[Ernakulam]] Junction Railway Station and residential colonies raise real estate prices. Kadavanthra provides access to Cochin Shipyard and the naval base. It provides alternate access to Atlantis via Railway gate or [[Thevara]] Junction, thus avoiding the usually busy M.G Road.
