The Stillness of Kings
The New Indian Express Madurai

Chittoor Kottaram is a single-key palace where royal devotion and timeless calm still linger
A one-hour drive from the heart of Kochi, skirting along the languid backwaters of the Perandoor canal, brings you to Chittoor Kottaram—a single-key royal mansion where Rama Varma Sakthan Thampuran, the Rajah of Cochin, once lived. The coconut palms bowing into their reflections are only a gentle prelude to what awaits: a world that still breathes the quiet majesty of early 19th-century Travancore.
Around 1815 CE, Sakthan Thampuran fervent devotee of Lord Krishna shifted his capital from Perumpadappu to Tripunithura, and commissioned a shrine in Cheranelloor (now Chittoor) to mirror the grandeur of Guruvayur. Known today as the Chittoorappan Temple, it remains one of Kerala's most revered Krishna sanctums.
