Padmanabhapuram Palace, Historical palace in Kanyakumari, India.

The palace complex spans 6.5 acres with 15 edifices featuring traditional Kerala architecture, intricate woodwork, and detailed sculptures across multiple buildings.

King Iravi Varma Kulasekhara Perumal constructed the initial palace in 1601, while King Marthanda Varma expanded the structures during his reign from 1729 to 1758.

The palace contains the Nataksala performance hall, council chambers, and multiple royal quarters that reflect the customs of Travancore kingdom nobility.

The Department of Archaeology maintains the palace, which opens from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM, except on Mondays.

The central mansion includes a four-story structure with royal treasury, bedrooms, hammocks, and worship chambers connected through wooden staircases.
