Kerala House

Kerala House, State mission building on Jantar Mantar Road, New Delhi, India.

Kerala House is Kerala's state mission in New Delhi, on Jantar Mantar Road at plot number three. Its main structure is the former Cochin House, built in 1911 by Sujan Singh and known as 'Vaikuntham', with a 1927 annex added beside it for offices and staff quarters. The complex belongs to the Kerala government and is headed by a Resident Commissioner.

The main structure, Cochin House, was built in 1911 by contractor Sujan Singh and used by his son Sir Sobha Singh; it was known as 'Vaikunth'. In 1920 Sobha Singh sold it to Cochin Maharaja H.H. Rama Varma, who stayed there during sessions of the Chamber of Princes. A 1927 annex served as the wartime office of the US political representative from 1942 to 1945. After Kochi joined the Indian Union, the house became Kerala House.

The name comes from the Cochin House, built by Sujan Singh Hadaliwale and known as 'Vyukunt'; Sobha Singh sold it in 1920 to Cochin Maharaja H.H. Rama Varma, who stayed there during sessions of the Chamber of Princes. The Information and Public Relations Wing at Kerala House coordinates press conferences and state events such as the Republic Day Parade and Kerala Piravi celebrations. Malayalam classes for the next generation of Malayalis in the capital are run from Travancore House on KG Marg.

Kerala House stands at Plot No. 3 on Jantar Mantar Road, in central New Delhi. The complex is run by the Kerala State Public Works Department under a Controller, who reports to the Resident Commissioner. Its guesthouse rooms are reserved for Kerala MLAs and other state politicians visiting Delhi on official business, so ordinary tourists cannot book them. The Kerala Tourism Information Office is not here but at Travancore House on KG Marg.

The main building was built in 1911 by contractor Sujan Singh and known as 'Vaikuntham'; his son Sobha Singh, who helped build New Delhi, used it as a base. From 1942 to 1945 the annex housed the office of the Political Representative of the United States to British India, in effect the American embassy.
