About

Kuthiramalika Palace Museum is part of the Kuthiramalika Palace (Puthen Malika Palace) and is situated on the south-east side of Sree Padmanabha Swami Temple. Kuthira Malika Palace (Mansion of Horses) is so called because of the shape of head carvings of the horses on the exterior walls. Built by Maharaja Swathi Tirunal Balarama Varma, the King of Travancore, the palace is a fine example of the traditional Travancore style architecture embellished with exquisite woodcarvings.
