==Geography==<br />
{{Unreferenced section|date=February 2018}}<br />
Thevara is part of the mainland Kochi and marks its south-west boundary. It is connected to the water-bound West Kochi via bridges.<br />
<br />
Thevara is a link to Thevara Ferry and Konthuruthy which links the place like [[Kumbalam, Ernakulam|Kumbalam]], [[Nettoor]], [[Kadavanthra]] to other areas of Kochi city via waterway. The major artery of Kochi city starts from Kacheripady and ends at Thevara Junction.<br />
<br />
Thevara is the first residential area one would come across after crossing over the Venduruthy Bridge to enter [[Ernakulam]] city. It is a quiet waterfront locale, about 2.5&nbsp;km from the commercial center of M. G. Road and South Railway Station. Cochin International Airport is 33&nbsp;km to the north-east. Ernakulam Central Bus Station is about 3&nbsp;km from Thevara. The road via Kundannoor is an easy access to Cochin bypass.<br />
