Nedumpuram Palace

Nedumpuram Palace is situated in Tiruvalla (9°23′06″N 76°34′30″E / 9.385, 76.575), Pathanamthitta District, Kerala, India.

The palace belongs to a branch of the Kulasekhara dynasty that ruled the principality of Udayamangalam in Northern Kerala.

The family belongs originally to the Valluvanad royal line of ascension who presided over the Mamamkam festival.

During the southern campaign of Tippu Sultan, the family relocated to the south of Kerala and took shelter under the patronage of the King of Travancore.

Foe each block of 'Nalukettu', barring the foundation and floor is made of carved and slotted wood and has a close resemblance to East Asian gabled and thatched structures.

The large teak doors on the outer verandahs are reserved for various ritual uses and are seldom opened.

As a branch of the principality of Mavelikkara who came and settled there during Tipu's "pattayottam" time, the family is also directly related to Raja Ravi Varma.

When the royal family of Travencore did not have an heir in the 19th century, the dynasty was restarted by adoption from Mavelikkara.
