  • The Maharajas of Tranvancore were loved and respected by their subjects all through the centuries. They were the best Maharajas of India.
  • Actually the Palace was built by H.H Chithira Thirunal Maharaja. Moolam Thirunal gifted a Nalukettu & the surrounding land to Amma Maharani. The Palace was designed into the current sprawling structure by the Maharaja on the occasion of the wedding of his sister, Maharani Karthika Thirunal Lakshmi Bayi to Col Godavarma Raja in 1934.
