Sasthamangalam (Malayalam: ശാസ്തമംഗലം) is a ward in the city of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.[1]

It is known for the Sasthamangalam Mahadevar Temple, one of the four major temples regularly visited by the Kings of Travancore, in the past.[2] The road along which the king would descend from the royal chariot and walk to the temple is now known as Radhapura Kunnu Lane.[3]
