Krishnapuram Palace

Krishnapuram Palace is a heritage monument at Krishnapuram near Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district, Kerala. The palace is an important example of traditional Kerala architecture, with features such as sloping tiled roofs, inner spaces arranged around courtyards and a setting designed for the region's climate. Today the site functions as a museum and preserves paintings, artefacts and objects connected with Kerala's history and material culture.

The palace is particularly celebrated for Gajendra Moksham, a large Kerala-style mural depicting the well-known episode from Hindu tradition. The combination of mural art, traditional building techniques and museum collections makes Krishnapuram valuable to visitors who want more than a quick photo stop. It can be included in a heritage-focused route through the Kayamkulam and southern Alappuzha area.

Opening arrangements can change, so travellers should verify current museum timings and closure days with the responsible authority before making a special journey.
