Park Avenue (Kochi)

The king ordered for beautifying the road bordering the park with a wide variety of flowering trees like Gulmohar etc.

These were in addition to the existing major structures, the Maharaja's College and Ernakulam General Hospital.

The annual Durbar processions which normally used to take place in Chitoor Road, was later shifted to this stretch.

[1] In the 1930s, the students of Maharaja's College lead a major agitation against Kochi Kingdom which was brutally suppressed with the help of armed police.

After Independence, the road was taken over by Ernakulam Municipality and retained in the same way as desired by its founder- Maharaja Rajarishi.
