The South Indian Royal Palace


A list of all my blogs here:

In 1966 I lived in Kerala. On my tours through the country  this very impressive Royal Travancore palace, Padmanabhapuram, was found. It used to be a palace to the kings of Travancore and is now situated just outside of Kerala, in Tamil Nadu. Later I may give more text - or who likes to improve the present text may send a mail so that more remarks may be added.


But at the beginning I start with a collection of my photographs taken in 1966 - without much comments. Just enjoy the  beauty of old south Indian handicraft and architecture.

At this place a map shall later be positioned.
