The ancient and majestic Padmanabhapuram Palace, an epitome of Kerala architecture, dates back to the 17th century. Now maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India, a guided tour through the maze of 108 rooms leaves one breathless at the artistic expression and sheer opulence of this magnificent structure. Even the ceilings have intricately carved floral patterns! The palace made of granite and teakwood displays a perfect combination of clean lines and gentle angles, the sloping tiled roofs of its various interconnecting buildings broken by projecting gables enclosing delicately carved screens. |
