Thevally Palace, Royal residence in Kollam, India

The palace complex extends along the banks of Ashtamudi Lake, featuring laterite stone walls, lime plaster finishes, and sloping roofs.

Built between 1811 and 1819 during Gowri Parvati Bayi's reign, this palace served as a meeting place between Travancore kings and British officials.

The palace architecture combines British, Dutch, and Portuguese design elements, with a temple dedicated to Lord Sastha within its grounds.

The palace currently functions as the NCC Group Headquarters for Kollam district, with the Public Works Department managing the premises.

A monument stands in the palace grounds commemorating a dog that facilitated communication between a British resident and a palace inhabitant.
