Inside you’ll find Kathakali images, an armoury, portraits of maharajas, ornate thrones and other artefacts. Admission includes an informative one-hour guided tour, though you can just visit the outside of the palace grounds (free), where you'll also find the Chitrali Museum (₹50) containing loads of historical memorabilia, photographs and portraits from the Travancore dynasty.
