I can’t describe in words how humble, generous and grounded the Royal family is!! Meet the prince Adhitya Varman ji and his beloved Mother and still can’t get over the vibrations I felt by engaging in conversations with them. Their knowledge, sense of responsibility towards the people of the land, dedication towards the Lord Padmanabhanswamy will simply blow away one’s wit’s and idea of royalty. They are Royal for a reason!!

Kowdiar Palace in Trivandrum, Kerala, India was built in 1934 by Maharajah Sree Chithira Thirunal, on Pallikettu (wedding) of his only sister, Maharani Karthika Thirunal Lakshmi Bayi with Lt. Col. G. V. Raja. After the Constitutional Amendment of 1971, the properties and estates of the royal family were partitioned and divided equally among the branches of the two Travancore Queens, Sethu Lakshmi Bayiand Sethu Parvathi Bayi. This Palace belongs to the heirs of Sethu Parvathi Bayi as it was built by her son Maharajah Sree Chithira Thirunal.[1]
Kowdiar Palace's architectural work is famous and has over 150 rooms. The entry to this palace is restricted as it is the private residence of the royal family settled in Thiruvananthapuram

An unforgettable day in my life. I got a chance to meet and interact with them at the palace where the Travancore royal family lives. The modesty of Padmanabha dasas is worth mentioning
