Can any one tell how old this photo is ?
Pathrakulam is not seen.
The road branching left from the Sree Padmanabha Temple - Karamana Road is Aryasala-Chenthiitta-Valiyasala Road.East Fort is also not visible.

The Koyikkal Palace is situated in Nedumangad, about 18 km from Thiruvananthapuram City on the way to the Ponmudi hill station and the Courtalam waterfalls, Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala. The Koyikkal Palace was built by Umayamma Rani of the Venad Royal Family, is a double storey nalukettu (traditional Kerala home). It was the official residence of the ruler of ‘Perakatharvazhi’. The exhibits here draw attention to the rich cultural background of Kerala. Today, the palace is regarded as a heritage structure and comprises the Numismatics Museum and the Folklore Museum, both of which were established by the Department of Archaeology.

More Info on John Allan Brown and Trivandrum Museum:

This one of the reasons why Thumba Equitorial Roacket Launching Station came up here.

ISRO/Meteorological Department should consider reconstructing the Allan Brown Observatory on the top of Agastyarkoodam.

Antique figurines found in church vault

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Three pieces of antique figurines have been found in an underground vault of an 18th century Catholic church at the coastal hamlet Anjuthengu near here, which was a fortified port of the British East India Company during the colonial era.

One of them was a figurine of Virgin Mary in ivory while the other two were woodworks of St Philomena, the church authorities said.

The discovery has attracted the attention of historians and conservationists while the parishioners of the St Peter's Ferona Church welcomed it as good augury for the community.

The idols were found in the vault during the restoration work of the church's alter. The workers chanced upon the objects when they opened the doors near the altar which led to the opening of the vaults the other day.

The figurine of St Mary was believed to have been used by the church during the processions and festivals years back, Church Vicar Fr Anish Fernandes said.
