About 'Kanakakkunnu Palace'

Kanakakkunu Palace at Thiruvananthapuram city is one among the places to visit in the city, and a grand monument of the reign of erstwhile Maharajas of Travancore. It is notable due to the fantastic architectural style and is an exquisite piece of antiquity. The palace was constructed during the reign of Sree Moolam Thirunal and modified by the great Sree Swati Thirunal Maharaja of Travancore. During the earlier days, the royal family used the palace to entertain their guests. As part of its move to renovate the ancient buildings of Trivandrum, the Government has undertaken the palace and has done restoration and maintenance works. Now the palace is used as a venue to conduct major seminars, flower exhibitions and so on. The open-air auditoriums inside the palace compound, Nishagandhi and Suryakanthi are used to conduct major artistic events, attracting public attention.
