Travancore House is the former residence of the Maharaja of Travancore in New Delhi.[1] It is located on Kasturba Gandhi Marg. The building is also known as Travancore Palace.
History[]
It was constructed in 1930. The architectural layout is a simple butterfly bungalow, which was unusual for the larger princely residences in New Delhi.[2]
The building has been categorised as a heritage building by the New Delhi Municipal Council. The effort of the Kerala state government is to transform this heritage building into a cultural complex. As part of this plan, an art gallery has been set up in the Travancore House. It is run under the auspices of Kerala House, which has a number of offices there.[3]
