KUTHIRA MALIKA

Kuthira malika,is a palace built by swathi thirunal rama varma,on the south eastern side of padmanabha swamy temple in thiruvananthapuram.The palace gets its name from the 122 horses that are carvedin in to the wooden wall brackets that support the southern roof. Kuthira malika , built in the 1840’s ,it is an example of traditional kerala architechure , with its typical sloping roofs, over hanging caves ,pillared varandahs and enclosed courtyards. Intricate carvings adon the wooden ceilings ,with each room having a distinctive pattern. The roof is supported by granite pillars.

The interior of Kuthira Malika features European mirrors and chandeliers, weapons, crystal items, Kathakali idols, elephant howdahs and other memorabilia. The palace was constructed with teak, rosewood, granite and marble. Elaborate carvings within the palace include two thrones- one is made entirely from elephant tusks and the other from Bohemian crystal. The palace houses the Maharaja’s music room where visitors have a good view of the temple, which was a source inspiration for the ruler. Other rooms include the other music halls, reading rooms, and a library. Noted for the Kerala architecture, the palace took 5,000 workers over 4 years to complete. Although 80 rooms are there in the palace, only 20 are open for the visitors.

On the first floor are rooms that once served as the audience chamber, the library and an alcove that Maharaja Swathi Thirunal used for meditating and for conceiving many of his musical compositions. This place offers a direct view of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple gopuram. The small wooden stair there contains carvings of peacock, elephant and parrot. One of the rooms displays an illusion portrait of Sree Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma, painted by Svetoslav Roerich. The palace has been visualized in many Malayalam films and is one among the attractive places to visit in Thiruvanathapuram.

A portion of Kuthira malika has been converted to a palace museum that houses some of the assests owned by the Travancore royal family. The palace collectors include 14 life size , kathakali manequins, Belgian and Italian mirrors, Crystal chanddines, paintings , a giant Belgian harpoon, armaments, musical instruments, traditional furniture s, Greek statue, a musical tree which produce 8 sounds on tappings and other artifacts. On the right side of the mannequins are the every cardles of various sizes. The palace has on display two royal thrones, one made from 24 elephant tasks[Dantasim hasana] and the other of Bahemian crystal with the Travancore emblem.'conch' adoring the top of the backrest. The small wooden stair there contains carvings of peacock, elephant and dragon. Cealing of the roof contain painting of parrot, peacock and elephant. It was an most interesting and informative visit. After that we had our lunch and returned to home. The palace has a large collection of idols and sculptures made from white marble.

Kuthira malika is the venue for swathi sangeetholsavam ,a yearly music festival commemorating the legacy of swathy thirunal. The music festival is conducted from 6-12 january every year.

PALM-LEAF MANUSCRIPT MUSEUM OF THE ARCHIVES DEPARTMENT AT CENTRAL ARCHIVES FORT IN THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

It is  the world's first-ever Palm Leaf Manuscripts Museum. Head to the new museum, which has been created on the ground floor of the 300-year-old complex, where the Central Archives is situated. The 187 manuscripts which are housed here are on cured and treated palm leaves and are from the Travancore regime, which ruled over the region. The texts on the leaves comprise financial, administrative, and cultural information, including well-known tales and those thought to have been lost to time. The Travancore kingdom lasted well into the 19th century and has vastly been recognised as a top name in the trading business. During the process of collection of the palm leaf manuscripts, was found proof of the kingdom's dealings with the territories under the kings of Kochi and Malabar. There are also records of battels mounted and won and lost, especially those against the European colonisers.

The 1741 battle against the Dutch was significant, as it ended their dreams of expansion in India. Additionally, the manuscripts also shine a light on the birth and progress of the Malayalam script of the region, which evolved from earlier ones. The team responsible for this mammoth heritage conservation project of collection, sorting, preservation, and documentation of the palm leaves sifted through approximately 1.5 crore palm-leaf records from across record rooms of the state. Most of the manuscripts were in dismal conditions and had to be painstakingly restored. 

You can see eight galleries in the museum - History of Writing, Land and people, Administration, War and Peace, Education and Health, Economy, Art and Culture, and Mathilakam Records - and take advantage of information channels such as videos, along with QR code-based digital systems of information dissemination. Also in the making are plans to move the palm leaf manuscripts to a modern facility, which will have storage methods designed to protect the palm leaves from further deterioration. In fact, a visit to the Palm Leaf Manuscripts Museum holding the past of the Travancore kingdom will give you a double dose of history.








 It was a nice trip...♥♥

Keep it simple!!!
