Trivandrum · India
Vedic astrology in Trivandrum, the long name included
Thiruvananthapuram is the long official name of Trivandrum, and vedic astrology still means that city on Asia/Kolkata. The length of the name does not create a zone. Indian Standard Time applies all year, with no daylight saving, at UTC plus 5 hours 30 minutes. Kochi is a different Kerala city and must not be typed because it is shorter. A later foreign address must not be typed because it is familiar.

The long name and the short one
Use the form printed on the certificate, and keep the time fixed if you try the other. A geocoder that mishandles one spelling is a reason to use the spelling that resolves to the city, not a reason to edit minutes. There is no seasonal hour hiding between the two names. June and December share the Indian offset.
Do not shorten the birth to Kochi
People do this on forms that feel cramped, and again when they explain the birth to someone outside India. Kochi geocodes elsewhere. It uses the same Asia/Kolkata clock and the same lack of daylight saving, so the error looks small on a zone check and large on a map. The lagna follows the map. Enter Trivandrum or Thiruvananthapuram as the record allows.
The dasha does not care which name won
The Vimshottari dasha already running is counted from the birth instant, once the place is this city and the time is Indian Standard Time. Sidereal positions use the Lahiri ayanamsa and Swiss Ephemeris. Career is the 10th house and its lord. A free account can generate the Kundli and chat. The official name's length is not an input.

Frequently asked questions
Does vedic astrology need a separate zone for Thiruvananthapuram?
No. Trivandrum and Thiruvananthapuram are one city on Asia/Kolkata, with no daylight saving. Enter the time as recorded.
Is Kochi an acceptable shortcut for a Trivandrum birth?
No. Kochi is a different city. It shares Indian Standard Time, not a geocode. Use the city on the Trivandrum record.
We live where clocks change in summer. Should the birth hour change too?
No. Daylight saving in your present country does not rewrite a Trivandrum birth. Keep Indian Standard Time and that city.
