Padmanabhapuram Palace & Suchindram Day Trip
Two of the finest pre-modern buildings in the far south. Padmanabhapuram Palace is the old Travancore capital, built entirely of wood with granite and laterite, and the largest wooden palace in Asia — a dark, beautiful maze of corridors and carved ceilings. Suchindram’s Thanumalayan temple is dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma together, with a musical pillar and a colossal Hanuman.
