Padmanabhapuram Palace

Padmanabhapuram Palace, popular as Asia’s largest wooden palace, exhibits the brilliant craftsmanship of the local carpenters. It was constructed in the 16th century by Iravi Varma Kulasekhara Perumal of the Travancore dynasty and is nothing less than an architectural marvel. From murals, beautiful furniture and floor carvings to eye-catching antiques and unique artefacts, everything about the palace is exceptional. The palace’s various sections, like Mantrasala, Thaikottaram, Nataksala, Central Mansion and Thekeekottaram, are worth exploring.
